9. Use Default Metric to set a default for the metric of redistributed routes. This field is blank if
a default metric has not been configured. The range of valid values is 1 to 16777214.
10. Use Maximum Paths to set the number of paths that OSPF can report for a given
destination. The range of valid values is 1 to 4.
11. Use AutoCost Reference Bandwidth to configure the auto-cost reference-bandwidth to
control how OSPF calculates link cost. Specify the reference bandwidth in megabits per
second. Unless a link cost is configured, the link cost is computed by dividing the reference
bandwidth by the interface bandwidth. The range is 1 to 4294967.
12. Use Default Passive Setting to configure the global passive mode setting for all OSPF
interfaces. Configuring this field overwrites any present interface level passive mode setting.
OSPF does not form adjacencies on passive interfaces, but does advertise attached
networks as stub networks.
Field Description
ASBR Mode The router is an Autonomous System Boundary Router if it is configured
to redistribute routes from another protocol, or if it is configured to
originate an external LSA advertising the default route.
ABR Status The router is an Area Border Router if it has active non-virtual interfaces
in two or more OSPF areas.
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. This
value is in hexadecimal.
AS_OPAQUE LSA Count The number of opaque LSAs with domain wide flooding scope.
AS_OPAQUE LSA Checksum The sum of the LS checksums of the opaque LSAs with domain wide
flooding scope. 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. This value is in hexadecimal.
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.
