Good evening all,
While doing some basic OSPFv3 labs I noticed that only the DR for a broadcast segment will generate the prefix LSA for that network segment. Can anyone explain why this behavior exists?
I also noticed that prefix LSAs that reference router LSAs do not count toward the number of links listed in the router LSA.
For example, I had a router that had a loopback configured, and had two Ethernet interfaces configured. I had the loopback interface set to the ospf point to point network type.
In the router LSA this particular router generated, it only listed that it had two links, yet it clearly had three.
Can anyone explain why 3 links were not listed under the router LSA?
Thank you for your time and assistance.
