One thought on “What does the authoritative flag mean in regards to the NHRP information?

  1. • Flags:
    • authoritative–Indicates that the NHRP information was obtained from the Next Hop Server or
    router that maintains the NBMA-to-IP address mapping for a particular destination.
    • implicit–Indicates that the information was learned from the source mapping information of an
    NHRP resolution request received by the local router, or from an NHRP resolution packet being
    forwarded through the local router.
    • negative–For negative caching; indicatesthat the requested NBMA mapping could not be obtained.
    • unique–Indicates that this NHRP mapping entry must be unique; it cannot be overwritten with a
    mapping entry that has the same IP address but a different NBMA address.
    • registered–Indicates the NHRP mapping entry was created by an NHRP registration request.
    • used–Indicates the NHRP mapping was used to forward data packets within the last 60 seconds.
    • router–Indicates an NHRP mapping entry that is from a remote router that is providing access to
    a network or host behind the remote router.
    • local–Indicates an NHRP mapping entry for networks local to this router for which this router has
    answered an NHRP resolution request.
    • (no socket)–Indicates an NHRP mapping entry for which IPsec socket (for encryption) has not
    been triggered. These mapping entries are not used to forward data packets.
    • nat–Indicates an NHRP mapping entry for which IPsec socket (for encryption) has not been
    triggered. These mapping entries are not used to forward data packets.
    • NBMA address–Nonbroadcast multiaccess address. The addressformat is appropriate for the type
    of network being used (for example, GRE, Ethernet, SMDS, or multipoint tunnel
