This read-create enumerated value indicates whether OSPF Opaque LSAs, which MPLS traffic engineering relies on to flood TE link attributes throughout an OSPF area, are enabled or disabled on this router. Since opaque LSAs carry the bandwidth, affinity, and other TE attributes that constraint-based path computation depends on, disabling this would break MPLS-TE path computation across OSPF. An administrator enabling MPLS-TE on an OSPF-routed network would first ensure csMplsOspfOpaqueAdminStatus is set to enabled(1) so TE-relevant link-state information can actually be flooded.
