The OSPF General Configuration dialog box provides the general configuration details of OSPF.

## Procedure

For CiscoView versions earlier than 5.2:

1. Right-click the device. Then select Configure, or double-click the device.

2. Select Protocols from the Category list.

3. Select OSPF from the SelectProtocol list. Then click the Details button. The OSPF Configuration dialog box appears.

4. Select General Configuration from the Category list.

For CiscoView version 5.2 and later:

1. Right-click the device, then select Configure, or double-click the device.

2. Select Protocols from the Category list.

3. Select OSPF from the SelectProtocol list. Then click the Details button. The OSPF Configuration dialog box appears.

   Note: The left frame in the dialog box displays the categories and the right frame displays the category details or a table. If a table is displayed, the variable on which the table is indexed and the key values of the index are listed below the category. Double-click the category to view the table and double-click a key value to view details of a particular row in the table.

   Multiple indexes for a table, if any, are listed below the category in a nested manner. Select a key value to view the rows of the table about that value. Select a key value of the lowest indexing variable to view the details of that particular row.

4. Select General Configuration from the left pane.

The following information appears:

Router ID (ospfRouterId)

OSPF Admin. Status (ospfAdminStat)

OSPF Version No. (ospfVersionNumber)

Area Border Router (ospfAreaBdrRtrStatus)

AS Border Router (ospfASBdrRtrStatus)

AS-external-LSA CheckSum Sum (ospfExternLSACksumSum)

Type of Service Support (ospfTOSSupport)

### Router ID (ospfRouterId)

32-bit integer uniquely identifying the router in the autonomous system.

By convention, to ensure uniqueness, the value of the object defaults to one of the router's IP interface addresses.

### OSPF Admin. Status (ospfAdminStat)

Administrative status of OSPF in the router. The status can be:

Value | Description
enabled | The OSPF process is active on at least one interface
disabled | The OSPF process is disabled on all interfaces

### OSPF Version No. (ospfVersionNumber)

Version number of the OSPF protocol is 2.

### Area Border Router (ospfAreaBdrRtrStatus)

Indicates if the router is an area border router.

### AS Border Router (ospfASBdrRtrStatus)

Indicates if the router is an autonomous system border router.

### AS-external-LSA CheckSum Sum (ospfExternLSACksumSum)

32-bit unsigned sum of the link-state advertisements LS checksums. The advertisement LS checksums are taken from the area link-state database. The sum excludes external (LS type 5) link-state advertisements. The sum can be used to determine if there has been a change in a router's link state database, and to compare the link-state database of two routers.

### Type of Service Support (ospfTOSSupport)

Indicates if the router supports type-of-service routing.
