Edit OSPF Areas

ItemDescription
AreaIdA 32-bit integer uniquely identifying an area. Area ID 0.0.0.0 is used for the OSPF backbone.
ImportAsExternThe area's support for importing AS external link- state advertisements.
SpfRunsThe number of times that the intra-area route table has been calculated using this area's link-state database. This is typically done using Dijkstra's algorithm.
AreaBdrRtrCountThe total number of area border routers reach- able within this area. This is initially zero, and is calculated in each SPF Pass.
AsBdrRtrCountThe total number of Autonomous System border routers reachable within this area. This is initially zero, and is calculated in each SPF Pass.
AreaLsaCountThe total number of link-state advertisements in this area's link-state database, excluding AS External LSA's.
AreaLsaCksumSumThe 32-bit unsigned sum of the link-state ad- vertisements' LS checksums contained in this area's link-state database. This sum excludes external (LS type 5) link-state advertisements. The sum can be used to determine if there has been a change in a router's link state data- base, and to compare the link-state database of two routers.
AreaSummaryThe variable ospfAreaSummary controls the im- port of summary LSAs into stub areas. It has no effect on other areas. If it is noAreaSummary, the router will neither originate nor propagate summary LSAs into the stub area. It will rely entirely on its de- fault route. If it is sendAreaSummary, the router will both summarize and propagate summary LSAs.
ImportSummaryThe area's support for importing Summary advertisements into a stub area. This field should be used only if ospfImportASExtern is set to FALSE
ActiveIfCountThis variable displays the number of active interfaces configured in this area. An area cannot be deleted if this value is > 0.
