Variable definitions

Use the information in the following table to help you configure OSPF.

Variable Value
RouterId Specifies the unique ID of the router in the Autonomous System.
AdminStat Specifies the administrative status (enable or disable) of OSPF on the router.
VersionNumber Specifies the version of OSPF running on the router.
AreaBrdRtrStatus Specifies whether this router is an Area Border Router.
ASBrdRtrStatus Specifies whether this router is an Autonomous System Border Router.
ExternLsaCount Specifies the number of external (link state type 5) link-state advertisements in the link state database.
ExternLsaCksumSum Specifies the sum of the link state checksum of the external link state advertisements contained in the link state database. This sum is used to determine if the link state database of the router changes and to compare the link state databases of two routers.
OriginateNewLsas Specifies the number of new link state advertisements that have been originated. This number is increased each time the router originates a new link state advertisement.
RxNewLsas Specifies the number of link state advertisements received determined to be new instantiations. This number does not include newer instantiations of self-originated link state advertisements.
10MbpsPortDefault
Metric
Specifies the default metric of a 10 Mbps port. The range is 1–65535. Default value is 100.
100MbpsPortDefault
Metric
Specifies the default metric of a 100 Mbps port. The range is 1–65535. Default value is 10.
1000MbpsPort
DefaultMetric
Specifies the default metric of a 1000 Mbps port. The range is 1–65535. Default value is 1.
10000MbpsPort
DefaultMetric
Specifies the default metric of a 10000 Mbps port. The range is 1–65535. Default value is 1.
TrapEnable Enables or disables OSPF traps. By default, OSPF trap is disabled.
AutoVirtLinkEnable Enables or disables OSPF automatic Virtual Link creation. The default setting is disabled.
SpfHoldDownTime Specifies the SPF Hold Down Timer value, which is an integer between 3–60. Default value is 10. The SPF runs, at most, once per hold down timer value.
OspfAction Specifies an immediate OSPF action to take. Select runSpf, and click Apply to initiate an immediate SPF run.
Rfc1583Compatibility Controls the preference rules used when choosing among multiple Autonomous System external link state advertisements advertising the same destination.
If enable, the preference rule will be the same as specified by RFC 1583.
If disable, the new preference rule, as described in RFC 2328, will be applicable.
This potentially prevents the routing loops when Autonomous System external link state advertisements for the same destination have been originated from different areas.
LastSpfRun Specifies the time when the last SPF calculation was done.
