Field Description
External Routing A definition of the router's capabilities for the area, including whether or not
AS-external-LSAs are flooded into/throughout the area. If the area is a stub
area, then these are the possible options for which you can configure the
external routing capability; otherwise, the only option is Import External
LSAs.
• Import External LSAs. Import and propagate external LSAs.
• Import No LSAs. Do not import and propagate external LSAs.
SPF Runs The number of times that the intra-area route table was calculated using
this area's link state database.
This is typically done using Dijkstra's
algorithm.
Area Border Router Count The total number of area border routers reachable within this area. This is
initially zero, and is calculated in each SPF pass.
Area LSA Count The total number of link state advertisements in this area's link state
database, excluding
AS external LSAs.
