AP OSPF Border Routers

To view OSPF border routers statistics:

1. Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
2. Expand the System node from the navigation pane (on the left-hand side of the screen). The System node expands to display the RF Domains created within the managed network.
3. Expand an RF Domain node, select a controller or service platform, and select one of its connected access points. The access point's statistics menu displays in the right-hand side of the screen, with the Health tab selected by default.
4. Expand the OSPF menu.
5. Select the Routes tab.

   The Statistics > AP > Routes > Border Routers screen displays by default.

   An ABR (area border router) connects (links) more than one area. Usually an ABR is used to connect non-backbone areas to the backbone. If OSPF virtual links are used an ABR will also be used to connect the area using the virtual link to another non-backbone area. Border Routers use internal OSPF routing table entries to an ABR or ASBR (Autonomous System Boundary Router). Border routers maintain an LSDB for each area supported. They also participate in the backbone.

6. Select Refresh to update the statistics counters to their latest values.
