OSPF2

OSPF routers transition through states including Down, Init, Two-Way, ExStart, Exchange, Loading, and Full to establish and maintain neighborship and adjacency. In the Init and Two-Way states, routers exchange Hello messages to learn each other's router IDs. In ExStart, routers elect a master and slave and exchange empty Database Description packets. In Exchange, routers send full Database Description packets, and in Loading they send Link State Request and Update packets to exchange link state information.

▪ Router-id
▪ Master bit(1)
▪ Sequence number
▪ MTU.
