In this video, OSPF LSA Types have been discussed with examples, detailed updates & so on ...

*******Contents of the video include*******
- OSPF LSA Types with GNS3 based topology.
- LSA Type1 Router LSA [by ALL RT] – O
- LSA Type2 Network LSA [by ALL DR] – O
- LSA Type3 Network Summary LSA [by ABR] – OIA
- LSA Type4 ASBR Summary LSA [by ABR] – OIA

    QUESTION (from a student): Why OSPF E1 routes are preferred over E2 type? ANSWER: As I have explained in the video lecture, E1 routes = External cost + Internal cost to ASBR E2 routes = External cost Therefore, E1 has more cost(metric) to the same destination as compared to E2 .. ... & as we know that a route with highest Metric is always preferred over others if AD is same. Because it causes the packets to reach to destination more fast. Therefore OSPF has been designed so that it prefers E1 routes over E2 routes. (Same is true for N1/N2 routes with NSSA type areas in OSPF). I hope it clarifies your concept now, I have tried as simple English language as possible.

    Great Explanation sir.... I have one doubt . In your topology,If we configure NsSa, there will be two types of LSA 4 present in other areas right? Or if not, LSA 4 will advertise about which ASBR link ?
