  • C
  • O
  • O IA
  • O E2

Explanation: In a routing table, a route with the code O IA indicates a network that is learned from another area and received by the ABR as an external LSA. The ABR has flooded the route into its area so that internal routers may add it to their databases. Label C would indicate a network that is directly connected to an interface on the router. Label O would indicate a network that is advertised by another router in the same area. Label O E2 would indicate an external network (non-OSPF network) that is advertised by an ASBR.
