Variable definitions

Use the information in the following table to help you configure the fields of Areas tab.

Variable Value
AreaId Specifies the unique identifier for the area. Area ID 0.0.0.0 is used for the OSPF backbone.
ImportAsExtern Specifies the area type by defining its support for importing Autonomous System external link state advertisements. The options available are:
  • importExternal—specifies a normal area
  • importNoExternal—specifies a stub area
  • importNssa—specifies an NSSA
SpfRuns Specifies the number of times that the OSPF intra-area route table has been calculated using this area link state database.
AreaBdrRtrCount Specifies the total number of Area Border Routers reachable within this area. This is initially zero, and is calculated in each SPF pass.
AsBdrRtrCount Specifies the total number of Autonomous System Border Routers reachable within this area. This is initially zero, and is calculated in each SPF pass.
AreaLsaCount Specifies the total number of link state advertisements in the link state database of the area, excluding Autonomous System external link state advertisements.
AreaLsaCksumSum Specifies the sum of the link state advertisements checksums contained in the link state database of this area. This sum excludes external (link state type 5) link state advertisements. The sum can be used to determine if there has been a change in link state database of a router, and to compare the link state database of two routers.
AreaSummary Controls the import of summary link state advertisements on an ABR into a stub area. It has no effect on other areas. If the value is noAreaSummary, the ABR neither originates nor propagates summary link state advertisements into the stub area (creating a totally stubby area). If the value is sendAreaSummary, the ABR both summarizes and propagates summary link state advertisements.
