SPF DelayTime(secs) - Delay time is the number of seconds from when OSPF receives a topology
change to the start of the next SPF calculation. Delay Time is an integer from 0 to 65535 seconds.
The default time is 5 seconds. A value of 0 means that there is no delay; that is, the SPF calculation is
started upon a topology change.
SPF HoldTime(secs) - Hold Time is the minimum time in seconds between two consecutive SPF
calculations. The range is 0 to 65,535 seconds. The default time is 10 seconds. A value of 0 means
that there is no delay; that is, two SPF calculations can be done, one immediately after the other.
External LSDB Limit - The maximum number of External LSAs that can be stored in the database. A
value of -1 indicates there is no limit. The valid range of values is (-1 to 2147483647).
Default Metric - Sets 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)
Maximum Paths - Configure the maximum number of paths that OSPF can report to a given
destination. The range of valid values is (1 to 32)
AutoCost Reference Bandwidth - 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)
Default Passive Setting - 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.
Default Route Advertise
Default Information Originate - When this parameter is enabled, OSPF originates an external LSA
advertising a default route (0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0).
Always - If Default Information Originate is enabled, but the Always option is FALSE, OSPF will only
originate a default route if the router already has a default route in its routing table. Set Always to
TRUE to force OSPF to originate a default route regardless of whether the router has a default route.
Metric - Specifies the metric of the default route. The range of valid values is (0 to 16777214)
Metric Type - Sets the OSPF metric type of the default route.
Non-Configurable Data
ABR Status - The router is an Area Border Router if it has active non-virtual interfaces in two or more
OSPF areas.
ASBR Status - 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.
Stub Router - When OSPF runs out of resources to store the entire link state database, or any other
state information, OSPF goes into stub router mode. As a stub router, OSPF re-originates its own
router LSAs, setting the cost of all non-stub interfaces to infinity. To restore OSPF to normal
operation, disable and re-enable OSPF.
External LSDB Overflow - When the number of non-default external LSAs exceeds the configured
limit, External LSDB Limit, OSPF goes into LSDB overflow state. In this state, OSPF withdraws all of
its self-originated non-default external LSAs. After the Exit Overflow Interval, OSPF leaves the
overflow state, if the number of external LSAs has been reduced.
External LSA Count - The number of external LSAs in the link state database.
External LSA Checksum - The sum of the LS checksums of the external LSAs 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.
