Monitoring OSPF

Two sets of commands enable you to monitor OSPF operation on your router: the debug and the show commands. Both sets of commands provide information about your router’s OSPF state and configuration.

The task you are performing with each of these monitoring commands is basically the same for each command; that is, you are requesting information. The results of this request can vary. For instance, the debug commands provide information (some of which is dynamically obtained from router logs) about problems with the network or the router, whereas the show commands provide information about the actual state and configuration of your router.
