how to view ospf process ID

shaun5263

can anyone tell me if there is another way to view the ospf process ID's running on a router? I typically find it using "show ip protocols"

I bought a practice test package and one of the sims freezes when you enter that command and you have to know the process ID to solve the issue. I e-mailed the company and their response was "well it doesnt ask you to enter show ip protocols".

any suggestions?

sh ip ospf

sh ip ospf neighbor

use this command on the neighbor router to find the neighbors router ID. Personally I like this command when verifying ospf because it also allows you to see the DR or BDR when ospf is configured in an NBMA or a broadcast network

tried those, this sim sucks it just gave me blank output. thanks though

the best simulator you can ever get is dynamips. This actually runs real router ios.

Thank you very much

They may just be looking for you to do a show run and grab the process ID from the "router ospf" line(s) in the config.

Thanks mike, for some reason I didnt even think to do show run

that would've prob been my first move unless show run was disabled
