Figure 15-9. OSPF Statistics Dialog Box

  1. See Table 15-6 for an explanation of the OSPF Statistics dialog box parameters:
    Table 15-6. 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 P580/P882 with Integrated Routing supports OSPFv2.
    External LSA Count
    Number of external (LS type 5) link state advertisements (LSAs) in the link-state database.
    Originate LSA Count
    Number of LSAs originated by this router.
    Receive New LSA Count
    Number of new LSAs received by this router.
    LSA Checksum Sum
    (global OSPF system)
    32-bit unsigned sum of the LS checksums of the external 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 (per area, not globally)
    32-bit unsigned sum of the LS checksums of the external 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.
