Description

Field

The sum of the LS checksums of the opaque LSAs with a domain-wide flooding scope.
You can use this sum to determine if there was a change in the link state database of
a switch or router, and to compare the link state databases of two devices.

AS_OPAQUE LSA
Checksum

The number of LSAs originated by the switch.

In any OSPF area, a router (or in this situation, a switch) originates several LSAs. Each
router originates a router-LSA. If the router is also the designated router for any of the
area’s networks, it originates network LSAs for those networks.

New LSAs Originated

The number of received LSAs for new instantiations. This number does not include
new instantiations of self-originated LSAs.

LSAs Received
