Hi All, Can you please provide clarification for following in OSPFv3 NSSA implementation.
As RFC 3101 is considered NSSA RFC for both OSPFv2 and OSPFv3, Case 1: As per RFC 3101, 2.4 section, While originating Type-7 LSA, if p -bit is set, then Forwarding address (FA) must be non- zero. [cid:[email protected]] For OSPFv3 case, there may be possible FA is not available (no global address is configured on any of NSSA interface). If OSPFv3 receives Type-7 LSA with p bit set but no forwarding address, whether this LSA should be consider as valid and can be used for route calculation? Case 2: In section 3.2 , Translating Type-7 LSAs into Type-5 LSAs [cid:[email protected]] Same in OSPFv3, if we received Type-7 LSA with no forwarding address but 'p' bit set, whether ABR is allowed to translate this LSA to Type-5 External LSA? As per my understanding, if Forwarding address is not available, Type-7 LSA must be originated with no 'p' bit set and no forwarding address. If 'p' bit is set means, it must always Carry forwarding address(for OSPFv3, it must be global ipv6 address configured on any of interfaces). Please let me know whether my understanding is correct or not for OSPFv3, as per RFC 3101. Regards, Veerendranath
