The following table describes the view-only fields on the page.
Description Field
A definition of the switch’s capabilities for the area, including whether or not
AS-external-LSAs are flooded into or throughout the area. If the area is a stub area,
one of the following external routing capabilities can display:
• Import External LSAs: Imports and propagates external LSAs.
• Import No LSAs: Does not import and propagate external LSAs.
If the area is not a stub area, the only option is Import No LSAs.
External Routing
The number of times that the intra-area route table was calculated using this area’s
link state database. (This is typically calculated using Dijkstra’s algorithm.) SPF Runs
The total number of area border routers that re reachable within this area. This is
initially zero, and is calculated in each SPF pass. Area Border Router
Count
The total number of link state advertisements in this area’s link state database, excluding
AS external LSAs. Area LSA Count
The 32-bit unsigned sum of the link state advertisement checksum contained in this
area’s link state database. This sum excludes external (LSA type 5) link state
advertisements. You can use the sum to determine if a change occurred in the link
state database of the switch, and to compare the link state database of two devices. Area LSA Checksum
The summary LSAs that are imported into this area. Import Summary LSAs
Add an OSPFv3 stub area
A stub area is a controlled area that does not allow external routes from outside the
OSPFv3 network.
To add an OSPFv3 stub area:
1. Launch a web browser.
2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
