The show ospf commands display extensive information about the OSPF database, configuration, and dynamic memory usage.
show ospf {rtrid | config | stats | mem | nbr | rt | all | if [verbose] |
rtrid | The show ospf rtrid command displays the router ID, which is the largest IP interface address associated with the router. The router ID is calculated only at boot time, or when OSPF has been re-enabled using the ospfenable command (see ospfenable). |
config | The show ospf config command displays user-configured values that are currently being used by the protocol. |
stats | The show ospf stats command shows OSPF packet statistics. |
mem | The show ospf mem command displays OSPF dynamic memory usage. |
nbr | The show ospf nbr command displays an abbreviated list of current neighbors and their state. |
rt | The show ospf rt command displays the ABR (Area Border Router) and ASBR (Autonomous System Border Router) routes. An Area Border Router is a router which has interfaces in more than one area. An Autonomous System Border Router is a router which acts as a gateway between OSPF and other routing protocols (e.g., RIP, BGP, etc.). |
all | The show ospf all command displays the entire OSPF Link State Database. |
if [verbose] | The show ospf if command displays the OSPF interface database. The verbose option can be used to display more information. |
db [all | rtr | net | sum | ext] | The show ospf db commands display various portions of the OSPF Link State Database.
|
The following sections describe the display contents for each command.
The show ospf config command displays configured settings for each interface, including the IP address of the interface, the area the interface is assigned to, and whether the interface is an active or passive OSPF interface. The display also includes any configured settings for OSPF virtual links, the Area ID and any net ranges set for the area and the routing protocol redistribution settings.
Interface Cost | This is the configured cost assigned to this interface. |
Router Priority | This is the configured priority assigned to this interface. |
Hello Interval | This is the interval, in seconds, the interface sends out "keepalive" packets to let other routers know this interface is up. |
Router Dead Interval | This is the interval, in seconds, the router's neighbors will wait without receiving a "keepalive" packet from this router before they assume this router is down. |
Transit Delay | This is the amount of time added to the age of Link State Update packets before transmission. |
Retransmit Interval | This is the interval, in seconds, the interface will delay before retransmitting Link State Update packets. |
The show ospf stats command shows how many of each of the five types of OSPF packets have been received and sent: Hello, Database Description, Link State Request, Link State Update, and Link State Acknowledgment. Discarded packets are not errors; an example of a discarded packet would be a multicast for Designated Routers when this router is not the Designated Router or Backup Designated Router. If "Packet errors" is nonzero, a detailed breakdown of each type of packet error will be displayed.
The show ospf if display includes:
Cost | This is the cost of using this interface. An OSPF router will choose the path with the lowest cost to enter into its routing table. |
State | This indicates whether this router is the Designated Router or the Backup Designated Router. |
Type | This indicates the interface's type. Broadcast interfaces are LAN/Ethernet interfaces. Point-to-Point interfaces are WAN interfaces running PPP. Point-to-Multipoint interfaces are WAN interfaces running Frame Relay. |
Priority | This indicates the router's priority. The priority is used to determine whether the router is eligible to become the Designated Router or the Backup Designated Router for the LAN. A priority of 0 means that the router is not eligible. The router with the highest priority becomes the Designated Router. |
Designated Router | This is the IP address of the Designated Router. |
Backup Designated Router | This is the IP address of the Backup Designated Router. |
Timers | This displays the timer settings for this interface. The Hello and Dead timers for each connected router must match or the routers will not be able to communicate. |
Neighbors | This shows the number of current neighbors in each state of the neighbor negotiation process. Down, Att (attempting connection), Init (initializing connection), ExStart (starting to exchange database information), Exch (in the process of exchanging database information), and Loading (requesting Link State Advertisements from each other) are transient states and should only appear at startup. 2WAY indicates that this router and the neighbor have completed their neighbor negotiation. FULL indicates that the neighbor is the Designated Router or the Backup Designated Router. |
The show ospf nbr display includes:
Rrt ID | This is the neighbor's router ID, which is the largest IP interface address associated with the router. |
Addr | This is the IP address of the neighbor. |
State | This is the current state of the neighbor negotiation process between this router and the neighbor. Unless the router is just starting up, the state should either be 2WAY or FULL. FULL indicates that the neighbor is the Designated Router or the Backup Designated Router. 2WAY indicates that this router and the neighbor have completed their neighbor negotiation. |
