AreaId
A 32-bit integer uniquely identifying an area.  Area

ID 0.0.0.0 is used for the OSPF backbone.
AuthType
The authentication type specified for an area.

Additional authentication types may be assigned locally

on a per Area basis.

** not used - see ospfIfAuthType **
ImportAsExtern
The area's support for importing AS external link-

state advertisements.
Enumerations:
  • importExternal (1)
  • importNoExternal (2)
  • importNssa (3)
SpfRuns
The number of times that the intra-area route table

has been calculated using this area's link-state

database.  This is typically done using Dijkstra's

algorithm.
AreaBdrRtrCount
The total number of area border routers reachable

within this area.  This is initially zero, and is

calculated in each SPF Pass.
AsBdrRtrCount
The total number of Autonomous System border routers

reachable within this area.  This is initially zero,

and is calculated in each SPF Pass.
AreaLsaCount
The total number of link-state advertisements in this

area's link-state database, excluding AS External

LSA's.
AreaLsaCksumSum
The 32-bit unsigned sum of the link-state

advertisements' LS checksums contained in this area's

link-state database.  This sum excludes external (LS

type 5) link-state advertisements.  The sum can be used

to determine if there has been a change in a router's

link state database, and to compare the link-state

database of two routers.
AreaSummary
The variable ospfAreaSummary controls the  im-

port  of  summary LSAs into stub areas.  It has

no effect on other areas.

If it is noAreaSummary, the router will neither

originate  nor  propagate summary LSAs into the

stub area.  It will rely entirely  on  its  de-

fault route.

If it is sendAreaSummary, the router will  both

summarize and propagate summary LSAs.
Enumerations:
  • noAreaSummary (1)
  • sendAreaSummary (2)
AreaStatus
This variable displays the status of  the  en-

try.  Setting it to 'invalid' has the effect of

rendering it inoperative.  The internal  effect

(row removal) is implementation dependent.
Enumerations:
  • valid (1)
  • invalid (2)
AreaLSAOriginateDelay
The variable ospfAreaLSAOriginateDelay controls the 

origination of LSA for RADIUS-DialUp connections. It has

no effect on other areas.

The unit of the value of this variable is 1/100 seconds, 

the range lies between 0 and 500 miliseconds and 

the default value is 0. 

If it is greater then 0, then the origination of LSA

will be delayed for this time.

This period of time is necessary, when the RADIUS-Dialup 

connection generates more then one (Host-)Route.
