M4300 Intelligent Edge Series Fully Managed Stackable Switches Table 141. Advanced OSPFv3 Configuration (continued) Field External LSA Checksum New LSAs Originated LSAs Received Description The sum of the LS checksums of the external LSAs contained in the link state database. This sum can be used to determine if there was a change in a router's link state database, and to compare the link state databases of two routers. In any given OSPFv3 area, a router originates several LSAs. Each router originates a router-LSA. If the router is also the designated router for any of the area's networks, it originates network-LSAs for those networks. This value represents the number of LSAs originated by this router. The number of LSAs received that were determined to be new instantiations. This number does not include newer instantiations of self-originated LSAs.
