Managing the Open Shortest Path

First Protocol

OSPF is an IP internal gateway routing protocol that has an openly

available protocol specification that is not proprietary to any single

vendor. You can display the status of various OSPF elements on this

router using the NCL commands in this section. You must use a

complete MIB pathway with each of these commands.

Command Function

ospf errs Display OSPF error counts.

ospf intf Display the status of the OSPF interfaces.

ospf lsdb Display the OSPF link state database.

ospf nbrs Display the status of the OSPF neighbors.

ospf rtab Display the OSPF routing table.

ospf tq Display the timer queue.

These commands display their output on the console screen. To output

the display to a printer or file instead of the console screen, place the

command syntax within the Print command. For detailed information on

the Print command, refer to the Operator’s Reference.
