Hi All,

can some one please explain me the difference in LSA Type 3 and LSA Type 4

as per my understanding

LSA Type 3 is used for inter area routes ........meaning all the Type 1/2
inside an area when crosses in to other area will be advertised using type
3

LSA Type 4 is the IP address of ASBR.

my confusion is if we already know about ip add of ASBR through Type 3
since every thing gets flooded in to other areas why do we need type 4
explicitly to define ip add of ASBR.


I read many blogs and other sources but still could not undersdtand.

take a look at this blog explanation, will fa0/0 of R6 not be known to
other areas using type 3 lsa ?
