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

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.
