Table 7-11. OSPF routing table
Field
Description
Cost
Cost of an OSPF route. The interpretation of this cost depends on the
type of external metric, which is displayed in the next column. If the
MAX is advertising Type-1 metrics, OSPF can use the specified
number as the cost of the route. Type-2 external metrics are an order
of magnitude larger.
T
Link-state advertisement (LSA)-type of the metric to be advertised
for an external route. A 0 (zero) in this column means that the metric
is an external-Type-1 or an OSPF internal route. A 1 means that the
route is an external-Type-2 route.
Tag
Specifies a 32-bit hexadecimal number attached to each external
route to tag it as external to the AS. The number may be used by bor-
der routers to filter this record.
