Loopback IP addresses The IP addresses assigned to the loopback interfaces of this node.
Accepted OSPF areas A map assigning for each OSPF instance in the Autonomous System, the OSPF areas that would be acceptable for being assigned to IP interfaces in this node. If an OSPF instance has not assigned area, the backbone area is assumed as the only acceptable area.
Site Site this node belongs to
Description A user-defined text description (potentially long) that can be assigned to this element
# Out IP links Outgoing IP links
BGP load sharing limit The load sharing limit BGP parameter for this node. See the BGP simulation documentation for more details.

Population Total population in this node
# IP neighbors IP nodes that have an IP link (non MPLS-TE tunnel) with this node, and thus are IP neighbors
External links Indicates if this element has one or more user-defined external URLs associated to it. If so, when the user clicks this cell, and selects the URL (if more than one), a navigator is launched and the URL page is shown. External links are not editable in the GUI, but via API.

Inventory JSON info The JSON info of the inventory object associated to this node, if any.
BGP ID BGP Identifier for the node. Used on some tie-breaking decisions in IP routing.
Installed Indicates if the element is installed. If not installed, the element behaves as if it did not exist, being unable to e.g. handle traffic or reserve any bandwidth
BGP preference map A map destination-to-preference map, storing the non-default values of the BGP preference of this node, for traffic to each destination. Higher values mean more preference of this node for becoming a next-hop for that destination. When no value appears in this map, the default preference value 10.0 is assumed. See the BGP simulation documentation section for more details.
