In the OSPF routing table output, prefixes are marked with different route types. An external prefix injected into OSPF is marked as 'Ext' (External) followed by a number that indicates whether it's an E1 or E2 route. The prefix 172.18.1.0/24 is marked as Ext2, which indicates that it is an external route that has been redistributed into OSPF from another routing protocol or static configuration.
