Step 18. AS-External LSAs of ‘type 1 metric’ with different advertised destination

Goals

[explanation]

Configuration

This step uses the following network:

../../../_images/step18.png 
network OSPF_Area_External extends OSPF_AreaTest
{
    @display("bgb=1151.665,517.31");
    submodules:
        N1: OspfLan {
            parameters:
                h = 1;
                @display("p=539.45123,389.04126");
        }
        N2: OspfLan {
            parameters:
                h = 1;
                @display("p=820.02374,389.04126");
        }

    connections:
        R3.ethg++ <--> Eth100M <--> N1.ethg++;
        R5.ethg++ <--> Eth100M <--> N2.ethg++;
}

The configuration in omnetpp.ini is the following:

[Config Step18]
description = "AS-External LSAs of 'type 1 metric' with different advertised destination"
network = OSPF_Area_External

# ToDo: R5 has a cost of 13 to the external network

*.configurator.config = xml("<config> \
                                <interface hosts='R3' towards='R4' address='192.168.0.x' netmask='255.255.255.x' /> \
