5.0(3)N1(1)	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the ip ospf database command to display information about different OSPF LSAs.

When the link state advertisement is describing a network, the link-state-id argument can take one of two forms:

•The network's IP address (such as Type 3 summary link advertisements and autonomous system external link advertisements).

•A derived address obtained from the link state ID. (Note that masking a network links advertisement's link state ID with the network's subnet mask yields the network's IP address.)

•When the link state advertisement is describing a router, the link state ID is always the described router's OSPF router ID.

•When an autonomous system external advertisement (LS Type = 5) is describing a default route, its link state ID is set to Default Destination (0.0.0.0).

This command requires the LAN Base Services license.

Examples

This example shows how to display the OSPF database:

switch# show ip ospf database

This example shows how to display a summary of autonomous system border routers:

switch# show ip ospf database asbr-summary

This example shows how to display information about external links:

switch# show ip ospf database external

This example shows how to display a summary of the OSPF database:

To display the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) topology table, use the show ip ospf routes command.

show ip ospf [instance-tag] routes [prefix/length | summary} [vrf vrf-name]

Syntax Description


instance-tag	(Optional) Name of the OSPF instance. Specify as an alphanumeric string of 20 characters.
prefix/length	(Optional) IP prefix, which limits output to a specific route. Indicate the length as a slash (/) and number from 1 to 31. For example, /8 indicates that the first eight bits in the IP prefix are network bits.
summary	(Optional) Displays a summary of all routes.
vrf vrf-name	(Optional) Specifies the name of the virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instance. The vrf-name argument can be specified as any case-sensitive, alphanumeric string up to 32 characters. The strings "default", "management", and "all" are reserved VRF names.

Usage Guidelines

Use the show ospf routes command to display the OSPF private routing table (which contains only routes that are calculated by OSPF). If something is wrong with a route in the routing information base (RIB), then you should check the OSPF copy of the route to determine if it matches the RIB contents. If it does not match, a synchronization problem exists between OSPF and the RIB.

This command requires the LAN Base Services license.

Examples

This example shows how to display OSPF routes:

switch# show ip ospf route

Syntax Description


instance-tag	(Optional) Name of the OSPF instance. Specify as an alphanumeric string up to 20 characters.
vrf vrf-name	(Optional) Name of the VRF. The vrf-name argument can be specified as any case-sensitive, alphanumeric string up to 32 characters. The strings "default", "management", and "all" are reserved VRF names.

Usage Guidelines

Use the show ip ospf statistics command to display information about link-state advertisements (LSAs). This information can be useful for both OSPF network maintenance and troubleshooting. For example, we recommend that you use the show ip ospf statistics command as the first troubleshooting step for LSA flapping.

This command requires the LAN Base Services license.
