Displaying OSPF information
Displaying OSPF external link state information
To display external link state information, enter the following command at any CLI level.
Syntax: show ip ospf database external-link-state [advertise num | extensive | link-state-id ip-addr
| router-id ip-addr | sequence-number num(Hex) ]
The advertise num parameter displays the hexadecimal data in the specified LSA packet. The num
parameter identifies the LSA packet by its position in the router’s External LSA table. To determine
an LSA packet’s position in the table, enter the show ip ospf external-link-state command to display
the table.
The extensive option displays the LSAs in decrypted format.
You cannot use the extensive option in combination with other display options. The entire database
is displayed.
The link-state-id ip-addr parameter displays the External LSAs for the LSA source specified by
IP-addr.
The router-id ip-addr parameter shows the External LSAs for the specified OSPF router.
The sequence-number num(Hex) parameter displays the External LSA entries for the specified
hexadecimal LSA sequence number.
This display shows the following information.
