|
PortMaster |
The IP address or name of the selected PortMaster. |
|
Area |
The contiguous set of routers shared on this network segment. |
|
Type |
Indicates the type of OSPF Link: |
|
Link ID |
Router links the value that identifies the router address. |
|
Advertising Router |
OSPF Router ID of the router that originated the link state advertisement. |
|
Sequence |
Link state sequence number used to detect old and duplicate link state advertisements (LSAs). Typically, the larger the sequence number, the newer the advertisement. When a router is rebooted, it might receive its old advertisements that are still known to other routers. If so, the router then brings its neighbors up-to-date by flooding the network with a new advertisement that has a sequence number larger than the number used in the old LSAs. |
|
TOS |
Type of service: Currently, only the TOS 0 metric is supported. For more information on TOS-based routing, see RFC 1349 and RFC 2178. |
|
External |
Indicates if the external advertisements are to be flooded into the area. |
|
Age |
Age of the LSA links in seconds. Links age out in 1 hour (3600 seconds), unless they are refreshed with a new (larger) sequence number. |
|
Mask |
Netmask for the Link ID. |
