ABR Status

Indicates if this router connects directly to networks in two or

more areas. An area border router runs a separate copy of the

Shortest Path First algorithm, maintaining a separate routing

database for each area.

ASBR Status

(Autonomous System

Boundary Router)

Indicates if this router exchanges routing information with

boundary routers in other autonomous systems to which it may

be attached. If a router is enabled as an ASBR, then every other

router in the autonomous system can learn about external routes

from this device.

Restart Status

Indicates if the OSPF process is in graceful-restart state.

Area Number

The number of configured areas attached to this router.

Version Number

The OSPF version number. The OSPF protocol implemented in this

device is based on RFC 2328 (Version 2). It also supports RFC

1583 (early Version 2) compatibility mode.
