How to read the OSPF Database

Hello Chaminda

You are correct. The output should actually read:

Link connected to: a Stub Network
 (Link ID) Network/subnet number: 10.0.35.0
 (Link Data) Network Mask: 255.255.255.0
  Number of TOS metrics: 0
   TOS 0 Metrics: 17

where the (Link ID) Network/subnet number should be 10.0.35.0 and not 10.0.15.0.

I will let Rene know to change that.

The /24 in the label of that DR just indicates that this DR is performing its function for a point to point link, that is, a single /24 subnet. This is stated later on in the lesson as shown:

I hope this has been helpful!
