OSPF Area Parameters
The OSPF Area Parameters window displays the following:
Area ID The IP address of the area.
Number of AS Border Routers The total number of Autonomous System border routers reachable within this area. This number is initially zero and is calculated in each SPF pass.
Number of Internal LSAs The number of internal link-state advertisements in the link-state database.
Internal LS Checksum Sum The sum of LS checksums of internal LS advertisements contained in the LS database. Use this sum to determine if there has been a change in a router's LS database, and to compare the LS database of two routers.
Import AS Extern Whether or not to import autonomous system external link advertisements.
