Cisco ASA Audit Event: 318008

318008: OSPF process is changing router id

Cisco ASA is a security device that provides the combined capabilities of a firewall, an antivirus, and an intrusion prevention system. It also facilitates virtual private network (VPN) connections. It helps to detect threats and stop attacks before they spread through the network.

Message: %ASA-3-318008: OSPF process number is changing router-id. Reconfigure virtual link neighbors with our new router-id.

Event 318008 is generated when the OSPF process is going to select a new router ID while being reset. This would bring down all virtual links.

How could you resolve this situation?

Change the virtual link configuration on all of the virtual link neighbors to reflect the new router ID.
