nbrStateShow

Displays the state of FSPF neighbors.

Synopsis nbrstateshow [slotnumber/][portnumber]

Description Use this command to display information about fabric shortest path first (FSPF) neighbors to the

local switch or information about a neighbor to a specified port. FSPF defines a neighbor as a

remote E_Port interface that is directly attached to the local switch. However, if ports are trunked,

the command displays data only about the trunk master.

This command displays the following fields:

Local Domain ID Domain ID of the local switch.

Local Port E_Port interface on the local switch. This value is typically equal to the Index

field reported in the switchShow command.

Domain Domain ID of the remote switch.

Remote Port E_Port interface on the remote switch.

State State of the neighbor. The neighbor can be in one of the following five states:

0 NB_ST_DOWN - The neighbor is down.

1NB_ST_INIT - The neighbor is initializing.

2NB_ST_DB_EX - The neighbor and the switch are exchanging data from

their Link State Records (LSR) databases.

3NB_ST_DB_ACK_WT - The neighbor is waiting for the switch to

acknowledge the LSR database.

4NB_ST_DB_WT - The LSR Database is in waiting state; synchronization is

in process.

5NB_ST_FULL - The neighbor is in the last, finishing state. The E_Port can

route frames only if the neighbor is in full state.

Note The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may

be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command

Availability" for details.

Operands This command has the following operands:

slotnumber For bladed systems only, specify the slot number of the port to display,

followed by a slash (/).

portnumber Specify the port number to display, relative to its slot for bladed systems. Use

switchShow to list valid ports. This operand is optional; if omitted, all neighbor

states are displayed.
