In OSPFv3, Link-LSA (Type 8) is generated by a router for each of its interfaces to advertise:
The router ' s link-local address on that interface.
The IPv6 prefixes associated with the interface.
Flags and options, such as router priority or loopback indicators.
From the output:
Link-LSA (Interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0)
Originating Router: 10.1.2.2
Link-Local Address: FE80::2E0:FCFF:FECD:4F79
Prefix: 2001:DB8:2345:23::/64
A. The link-local address of R2’s GE0/0/0 is FE80::2E0:FCFF:FECD:4F79→ This matches the Link-Local Address field in the LSA. ✅
B. The IPv6 address prefix of R2’s GE0/0/0 is 2001:DB8:2345:23::/64→ This matches the Prefix field in the LSA. ✅
C. This LSA indicates that R2 does not support external routes but can participate in IPv6 route calculation→ ❌ Incorrect.
The Link-LSA does not provide any indication about external route capabilities.
It simply advertises interface-specific IPv6 and link-local info.
Whether R2 supports external routes depends on Type 5 (External) or Type 7 (NSSA) LSAs, not Link-LSAs.
D. This LSA is generated by R2→ The Originating Router: 10.1.2.2 is R2’s router ID, so this LSA is definitely generated by R2. ✅
Correct Answers: A, B, D
The Link-LSA in OSPFv3 contains:
The link-local address used by the originating router on the link.
A list of all IPv6 prefixes associated with the link.
Flags such as router priority and the Router-LSA options.
These LSAs are always generated by the router itself and are not flooded beyond the link.
