Hi
Could somone please tell me how I can view the mask of a route advertised in OSPF, whether it is Inter or Intra area routes or External routes. If I run "show ip ospf database" I can see the routes but not their associated masks?
Thanks
Dan

Dan,
The information is in the lsdb.
1. For internal routes network type broadcast, you have to look at the lsa type 2:
r6#sh ip ospf dat net
OSPF Router with ID (6.6.6.6) (Process ID 1)
Net Link States (Area 2)
Routing Bit Set on this LSA
LS age: 155
Options: (No TOS-capability, DC)
LS Type: Network Links
Link State ID: 192.168.156.5 (address of Designated Router)
Advertising Router: 5.5.5.5
LS Seq Number: 80000001
Checksum: 0x42AC
Length: 32
Network Mask: /24
Attached Router: 5.5.5.5
Attached Router: 6.6.6.6
r6#
2. For internal routes network type point-to-point, there is stub network associated to the p-to-p that give you that information:
Link connected to: another Router (point-to-point)
(Link ID) Neighboring Router ID: 6.6.6.6
(Link Data) Router Interface address: 192.168.56.5
Number of TOS metrics: 0
TOS 0 Metrics: 48
Link connected to: a Stub Network
(Link ID) Network/subnet number: 192.168.56.0
(Link Data) Network Mask: 255.255.255.0
Number of TOS metrics: 0
TOS 0 Metrics: 48
3. For inter area routes, the information is in the lsa type 3:
Summary Net Link States (Area 2)
Routing Bit Set on this LSA
LS age: 621
Options: (No TOS-capability, DC, Upward)
LS Type: Summary Links(Network)
Link State ID: 2.2.2.2 (summary Network Number)
Advertising Router: 5.5.5.5
LS Seq Number: 80000001
Checksum: 0x4649
Length: 28
Network Mask: /32
TOS: 0 Metric: 145
4. For inter area routes, the information is in the lsa type 5 or 7:
Type-5 AS External Link States
Routing Bit Set on this LSA
LS age: 1359
Options: (No TOS-capability, DC)
LS Type: AS External Link
Link State ID: 0.0.0.0 (External Network Number )
Advertising Router: 3.3.3.3
LS Seq Number: 80000001
Checksum: 0xE0C5
Length: 36
Network Mask: /0
Metric Type: 2 (Larger than any link state path)
TOS: 0
Metric: 1
Forward Address: 0.0.0.0
External Route Tag: 1
Type-7 AS External Link States (Area 1)
Routing Bit Set on this LSA
LS age: 21
Options: (No TOS-capability, Type 7/5 translation, DC)
LS Type: AS External Link
Link State ID: 192.168.255.0 (External Network Number )
Advertising Router: 1.1.1.1
LS Seq Number: 80000001
Checksum: 0xB56F
Length: 36
Network Mask: /24
Metric Type: 2 (Larger than any link state path)
TOS: 0
Metric: 20
Forward Address: 1.1.1.1
External Route Tag: 0

Just for the record, point number 4 should have said "for external routes" rather than "for inter area routes".
