The output includes the following fields:
Displaying OSPF general information
To display general information about OSPF, enter the Show OSPF General command. For
example:
ascend% show ospf general
Rtr ID: 10.5.2.154
Status: Enabled Version: 2 ABR: Off ASBR: On
LS ASE Count: 8 ASE Cksum sum: Ox4c303 Tos Support: TOS 0 Only
New LSA Originate Count: 13 Rx New LSA Count: 498
Field Description
Area ID Specifies the area number in dotted-decimal format.
Auth Type Type of authentication, simple or null.
Import ASE Relates to the way routes are calculated, in effect, it specifies whether the
router is an ABR or not. This functionality is always ON in the
MultiVoice Gateway.
Spf Runs How many times the SPF calculation was run. The calculation is
performed every time the router notes a topology change or receives an
update from another router.
Local ABRs Number of ABRs the router knows about and the number of areas. The
number 0 means that the router knows about the backbone area only.
Local ASBRs Number of ASBRs the router knows about.
Inter LSAs Number of entries in the link-state database.
Inter Cksum sum Checksum that is used to note that a database has changed.
Field Description
Rtr ID field Contains the MultiVoice Gateway IP address (the IP address
assigned to the MultiVoice Gateway Ethernet interface).
Status Shows whether OSPF is enabled or disabled.
Version Version of the OSPF protocols running.
ABR Can be On or Off, depending on where the MultiVoice
Gateway is situated on the network. If ABR is On, the
MultiVoice Gateway performs additional calculations related
to external routes.
ASBR Always On in the MultiVoice Gateway. Although the
MultiVoice Gateway cannot function as an IGP gateway, it
does import external routes— for example, when it establishes
a WAN link with a caller that does not support OSPF—and the
ASBR calculations are always performed.
LS ASE Count number of link-state database entries that are external.
ASE Cksum sum Checksum that is used to note that ASE routes in the database
have changed.
TOS Support Level of TOS support in the router.
