OSPF Enhanced Traffic Statistics for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3

First Published: February 27, 2006

Last Updated: May 4, 2009

This document describes new and modified commands that provide enhanced OSPF traffic statistics for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. The ability to collect and display more detailed traffic statistics increases high availability for the OSPF network by making the troubleshooting process more efficient.

New OSPF traffic statistics are collected and displayed to include the following information:

•OSPF Hello input queue and OSPF process queue status and statistics.

•Global OSPF traffic statistics.

•Per-OSPF-interface traffic statistics.

•Per-OSPF-process traffic statistics.

Finding Feature Information

OSPFv2 or OSPFv3 must be configured on the router.

Information About OSPF Enhanced Traffic Statistics for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3

The OSPF enhanced traffic statistics are enabled by default and cannot be disabled. Before displaying the OSPF enhanced traffic statistics for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3, you should understand the following concepts:

•Benefits of Checking OSPF Enhanced Traffic Statistics for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3

Benefits of Checking OSPF Enhanced Traffic Statistics for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3

The detailed OSPF traffic statistics are especially beneficial for troubleshooting the following types of OSPF instabilities:

•OSPF process queue status and statistical information can help the network administrator determine if an OSPF process can handle the amount of traffic sent to OSPF.

•OSPF packet header errors and LSA errors statistics keep a record of different errors found in received OSPF packets.

OSPF enhanced traffic control statistics also monitor the amount of traffic control exchanged between OSPF processes—an important consideration in network environments with slow links and frequent topology changes.

How to Display and Clear OSPF Enhanced Traffic Statistics for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3

This section contains the following tasks:

•Displaying and Clearing OSPF Traffic Statistics for OSPFv2

•Displaying and Clearing OSPF Traffic Statistics for OSPFv3

Displaying and Clearing OSPF Traffic Statistics for OSPFv2

If your network runs IPv4, complete the steps in the following task to collect, display and clear detailed traffic statistics for Hello output, process queue status, global OSPF traffic statistics, per-OSPF-interface traffic statistics and per-OSPF-process traffic statistics.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. show ip ospf [process-id] traffic [interface-type interface-number]

3. clear ip ospf traffic

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

enable
Example:

Router> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

•Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

show ip ospf [process-id] traffic [interface-type interface-number]
Example:

Router# show ip ospf 10 traffic gigabitethernet 0/0/0

Displays OSPFv2 traffic statistics.

Step 3

clear ip ospf traffic
Example:

Router# clear ip ospf traffic

Clears OSPFv2 traffic statistics.

Displaying and Clearing OSPF Traffic Statistics for OSPFv3

If your network runs IPv6, complete the steps in the following task to collect, display, and clear detailed traffic statistics for Hello output, process queue status, global OSPF traffic statistics, per-OSPF-interface traffic statistics and per-OSPF-process traffic statistics.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. show ipv6 ospf [process-id] traffic [interface-type interface-number]

3. clear ipv6 ospf traffic

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

enable
Example:

Router> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

•Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

show ipv6 ospf [process-id] traffic [interface-type interface-number]
Example:

Router# show ipv6 ospf traffic

Displays OSPFv3 traffic statistics.

Step 3

clear ipv6 ospf traffic
Example:

Router# clear ipv6 ospf traffic
