Table 9-6.OSPF Statistical Parameters

 

 

Parameter

Displays the...

 

 

OSPF State

Current state of OSPF.

 

 

Router ID

Router ID for OSPF.

 

 

OSPF Version

Current version of OSPF. The P550 with Integrated Routing

 

supports OSPFv2.

 

 

External LSA Count

Number of external (LS type 5) link-state advertisements in the

 

link-state database.

 

 

Originate LSA Count

Number of LSAs originated by this router.

 

 

Receive New LSA

Number of new LSAs received by this router.

Count

 

 

 

LSA Checksum Sum

32-bit unsigned sum of the LS checksums of the external

(global OSPF system)

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

 

database of two routers.

 

 

Area ID

Area ID of the area in question. It has the function of defining a

 

summarization point for Link State Advertisements.

 

 

SPF Runs

Number of times that the intra-area route table has been

 

calculated using this area's link-state database.

 

 

Border Rtrs

Total number of area border routers reachable within this area.

 

This is initially zero, and is calculated in each SPF Pass.

 

 

AS Border Rtrs

Total number of Autonomous System border routers reachable

 

within this area. This is initially zero, and is calculated in each

 

SPF Pass.

 

 

LSAs

Total number of link-state advertisements in this area's link-state

 

database, excluding AS External LSAs.

 

 

LSA Chksum Sum

32-bit unsigned sum of the LS checksums of the external

(per area, not

link-state advertisements contained in the link-state database.

globally)

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

 

database of two routers.
