The following fields are shown in the OSPF general status display:

CLI display of OSPF general information
Field	Content
OSPF protocol	Whether OSPF is currently enabled.
Router ID	Router ID that this routing switch is currently using to identify itself.
RFC 1583 compatibility	Whether the routing switch is currently using RFC 1583 (compatible) or RFC 2328 (non-compatible rules for calculating external routes.
Intra-area distance	Administrative distance for routes within OSPF areas.
Inter-area distance	Administrative distance for routes between areas within the same OSPF domain.
AS-external	Administrative distance for routes between the OSPF domain and other, Exterior Gateway Protocol domains.
Default import metric	Default metric that will be used for any routes redistributed into OSPF by this routing switch
Default import metric type	Metric type (type 1 or type 2) that will be used for any routes redistributed into OSPF by this routing switch.
Area Border	Whether this routing switch is currently acting as an area border router.
AS Border	Whether this routing switch is currently acting as an AS border router (redistributing routes.)
External LSA Count	Total number of external LSAs currently in the routing switch's link state database.
External LSA Checksum Sum	Sum of the checksums of all external LSAs currently in the routing switch's link state database (quick check for whether database is in sync with other routers in the routing domain.)
Originate New LSA Count	Count of the number of times this switch has originated a new LSA.
Receive New LSA Count	Count of the number of times this switch has received a new LSA.
Graceful Restart Interval	Maximum seconds between graceful restarts.
Graceful Restart Strict-Lsa Checking	Whether LSA checking is enabled or disabled (terminates graceful restart when a change to an LSA would cause flooding during the restart.)
Nonstop forwarding	Whether nonstop forwarding (NSF) is enabled or disabled.
Log Neighbor Adjacency Changes	Whether changes in adjacent neighbors are logged.
