Non-Configurable Data

ASBR Mode - Reflects whether the ASBR mode is enabled or disabled. Enable implies that the router
is an autonomous system border router. Router automatically becomes an ASBR when it is configured
to redistribute routes learnt from other protocol.

ABR Status - The values of this are enabled or disabled. Enabled implies that the router is an area
border router. Disabled implies that it is not an area border router.

External LSA Count - The number of external (LS type 5) LSAs (link state advertisements) in the link
state database.

External LSA Checksum - The sum of the LS checksums of the external LSAs (link state
advertisements) contained in the link-state database. This sum can be used to determine if there has
been a change in a router's link state database, and to compare the link-state databases of two routers.

New LSAs Originated - In any given OSPF area, a router will originate several LSAs. Each router
originates a router-LSA. If the router is also the Designated Router for any of the area's networks, it will
originate network-LSAs for those networks. This value represents the number of LSAs originated by
this router.

LSAs Received - The number of LSAs (link state advertisements) received that were determined to be
new instantiations. This number does not include newer instantiations of self-originated LSAs.

Command Buttons
