Arguments

Field Name	Description
id ipAddress	ID of the area.
authType enumeration	Optional: The type of authentication used for OSPF advertisements sent from this interface. The default setting is "none". Valid values: `none` : Do not use authentication. `simplePassword` : A text password included in the OSPF advertisement it sends to other routers. `md5` : MD5 algorithm is used to create an encoded checksum OSPF advertisement.
areaType enumeration	Optional: The type of area, either nonstub, stub, or NSSA. The default setting is "nonStub". Valid values: `nonStub` : Regular OSPF area; all external routes are flooded throughout the entire network. `stub` : Stub area; prevents external routes from being flooded into the area. `nssa` : Not-So-Stubby-Area (NSSA), based on RFC 1587.
spfRuns counter32	The number of times that the shortest path first (SPF) algorithm has been calculated. The calculation is done using this area's link state database, with the the Dijkstra's algorithm.
bdrRtrCount integer	Number of area border routers reachable from this area.
asBdrRtrCount integer	Number of autonomous system border routers reachable from this area.
lsaCount integer	Number of LSAs in the area's LSA database (excluding external LSAs).
lsaChksums integer	The number of link state advertisements contained within this area's link state database. This count does not include external LSAs.
summary enumeration	Optional: Whether OSPF summary routes are imported into the stub area. The default setting is "noAreaSummary". Valid values: `noAreaSummary` : Prevent OSPF summary routes (Type-3 LSAs) from importing into the stub area. `sendAreaSummary` : Prevent Type 3 summaries from entering the stub area.
stubMetric integer	Optional: Metric associated with the default route advertised into the stub area. The default setting is "1".
authKey text	Optional: Auth Key.
authId integer	Optional: An authentication identification (ID) number used during MD5 authentication. This value must match the authentication ID configured on the other routers in the network. Not all routers use the authentication ID; you can use the default value if your routers do not use an authentication ID. You must set the authType argument to md5 to use this argument. The default setting is "0".
stubDefaultRoute enumeration	Optional: Whether the stub area receives an advertised default route. The default setting is "enabled". Valid values: `enabled`, `disabled`
nssaDefaultRouteType enumeration	Optional: The route type of the default route when advertised into an NSSA area. Type 1 adds the internal cost to the external metric. Type 2 uses the internal cost to the border router servicing the external router. The default setting is "type1". Valid values: `type1` : Adds the internal cost to the external metric. `type2` : Uses the internal cost to the border router servicing the external router.

Field Name

Description

id ipAddress

ID of the area.

authType enumeration

areaType enumeration

Optional: The type of area, either nonstub, stub, or NSSA.

The default setting is "nonStub".

Valid values:

nonStub : Regular OSPF area; all external routes are flooded throughout the entire network.
stub : Stub area; prevents external routes from being flooded into the area.
nssa : Not-So-Stubby-Area (NSSA), based on RFC 1587.

spfRuns counter32

The number of times that the shortest path first (SPF) algorithm has been calculated. The calculation is done using this area's link state database, with the the Dijkstra's algorithm.

bdrRtrCount integer

Number of area border routers reachable from this area.

asBdrRtrCount integer

Number of autonomous system border routers reachable from this area.

lsaCount integer

Number of LSAs in the area's LSA database (excluding external LSAs).

lsaChksums integer

The number of link state advertisements contained within this area's link state database. This count does not include external LSAs.

summary enumeration

Optional: Whether OSPF summary routes are imported into the stub area.

The default setting is "noAreaSummary".

Valid values:

noAreaSummary : Prevent OSPF summary routes (Type-3 LSAs) from importing into the stub area.
sendAreaSummary : Prevent Type 3 summaries from entering the stub area.

stubMetric integer

Optional: Metric associated with the default route advertised into the stub area.

The default setting is "1".

authKey text

Optional: Auth Key.

authId integer

Optional: An authentication identification (ID) number used during MD5 authentication. This value must match the authentication ID configured on the other routers in the network.

Not all routers use the authentication ID; you can use the default value if your routers do not use an authentication ID.

You must set the authType argument to md5 to use this argument.

The default setting is "0".

stubDefaultRoute enumeration

Optional: Whether the stub area receives an advertised default route.

The default setting is "enabled".

Valid values: enabled, disabled

nssaDefaultRouteType enumeration

Optional: The route type of the default route when advertised into an NSSA area. Type 1 adds the internal cost to the external metric. Type 2 uses the internal cost to the border router servicing the external router.

The default setting is "type1".

Valid values:

type1 : Adds the internal cost to the external metric.
type2 : Uses the internal cost to the border router servicing the external router.
