o ABR Status — Indicates whether this is an Area Border Router.
o ASBR Status — Indicates whether this is an Autonomous System Border Router.
o Ext LSA Count — The number of external (LS type 5) Link State Advertisements (LSA) in the link state database.
o Ext LSA Checksum — Checksums of the external link state advertisements contained in the link state database. This 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.
o TOS Support — The router’s support for Type Of Service (TOS) routing.
o Originated New LSA Count — The number of new LSAs that have been originated. This number is incremented each time the router originates a new LSA.
o Received New LSA Count — The number of LSAs received, determined to be new instantiations. This number does not include newer instantiations of self-originated LSAs.
o Ext LSA Limit — The maximum number of non-default AS-external-LSAs entries that can be stored in the link state database. If the value is –1, then there is no limit. When the number of non-default AS-external-LSAs in a router’s link state database reaches Ext. LS Limit, the router enters Overflow State. The router never holds more than Ext. LS Limit non-default AS-external-LSAs in its database. Ext. LS Limit must be set identically in all routers attached to the OSPF backbone and/or any regular OSPF area (that is, OSPF stub areas and NSSAs are excluded).
o Multicast Extension — A bit mask indicating whether the router is forwarding IP multicast (Class D) datagrams based on the algorithms defined in the multicast extensions to OSPF.
Bit 0, if set, indicates that the router can forward IP multicast datagrams in the router's directly attached areas (called intra-area multicast routing).
Bit 1, if set, indicates that the router can forward IP multicast datagrams between OSPF areas (called inter-area multicast routing).
Bit 2, if set, indicates that the router can forward IP multicast datagrams between Autonomous Systems (called inter-AS multicast routing).
Only certain combinations of bit settings are allowed, namely:
0 No multicast forwarding is enabled. This is the default value. 1 Intra-area multicasting only.
3 Intra-area and inter-area multicasting. 5 Intra-area and inter-AS multicasting. 7 Multicasting everywhere.
o Exit Overflow Interval — The number of seconds that, after entering Overflow State, a router will attempt to leave Overflow State. This allows the router to again originate non-default AS-external-LSAs. When set to 0, the router will not leave Overflow State until restarted.

o LSA Count — The total number of LSAs in this area’s link state database, excluding AS-external-LSAs.
o LSA Checksum — The 32-bit unsigned sum of the LSA’s LS checksums contained in this area’s link state database. This sum excludes external (LS type 5) LSAs. 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.
o Summary — Controls the import of summary LSAs into stub areas. It has no effect on other areas. If it is no Area Summary, the router will neither originate nor propagate summary LSAs into the stub area. It will rely entirely on its default route. If it is Send Area Summary, the router will both summarize and
propagate summary LSAs.
Stub Area — Displays stub area parameters.
o ID — A unique identifier of the stub area.

Configuration File Handling
The configuration file is stored both in the RMM and in a flash memory on the MINI-LINK CN 210. The configuration file is identified using the serial number of the MINI-LINK CN 210 and the fingerprint of the configuration file.
