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.

debug Commands

The debug commands provide information about the following OSPF items:

Adjacencies
Designated router
General events
Link-state advertisements
Neighbors
Packets received
Packets sent
Route events
SPF events

debug ip ospf

debug ipv6 ospf

Use to display information about selected OSPF events. This command has many keywords so you can specify a variety of OSPF events.
You can set the level of severity for the events you want displayed: 0–7.
You can set the verbosity of the messages you want displayed: low, medium, high.
Example 1
host1#debug ip ospf adj
Example 2
host1#debug ipv6 ospf lsa
Use the no version to cancel the display of any information about the designated variable.
See debug ip ospf
See debug ipv6 ospf

ospf log-adjacency-changes

Use to enable the logging of changes in the state of an OSPF neighbor.
Example
host1(config-router)#ospf log-adjacency-changes
Use the no version to disable the logging of changes in the state of an OSPF neighbor.
See ospf log-adjacency-changes

undebug ip ospf

undebug ipv6 ospf

Use to cancel the display of information about a selected event.
The same OSPF variables can be designated as in the debug ip ospf or debug ipv6 ospf commands.
Example 1
host1#undebug ip ospf adj
Example 2
host1#undebug ipv6 ospf lsa
There is no no version.
See undebug ip ospf
See undebug ipv6 ospf

show Commands

The show commands provide information about the following OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 items:

Routing processes
Border routers
Database
Interfaces
Neighbors
Traffic
Virtual links
Internal statistics
MPLS tunnels and opaque LSAs

You can use the output filtering feature of the show command to include or exclude lines of output based on a text string you specify. See JunosE System Basics Configuration Guide, for details.

show ip ospf

show ipv6 ospf

Use to display general information about OSPF routing processes.
