Format

Mode
Privileged EXEC
Note:
Some of the information below displays only if you enable OSPF and configure
certain features.
Term
Definition
Router ID
A 32 bit integer in dotted decimal format identifying the router, about which information is
displayed. This is a configured value.
OSPF Admin
Mode
Shows whether the administrative mode of OSPF in the router is enabled or disabled.
This is a configured value.
ABR Status
Shows whether the router is an OSPF Area Border Router.
ASBR Status
Reflects whether the ASBR mode is enabled or disabled. Enable implies that the router
is an autonomous system border router. Router automatically becomes an ASBR when it
is configured to redistribute routes learnt from other protocol. The possible values for the
ASBR status is enabled (if the router is configured to re-distribute routes learned by other
protocols) or disabled (if the router is not configured for the same).
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.
Exit Overflow
Interval
The number of seconds that, after entering overflow state, a router will attempt to leave
overflow state.
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 (LS type 5) link-state advertisements in the link-state database.
External LSA
Checksum
The sum of the LS checksums of external link-state advertisements contained in the link-
state database.
