DISPLAY TCPIP,<tcpipjobname>,OMPROUTE,OSPF,STATISTICS

The DISPLAY TCPIP,<tcpipjobname>,OMPROUTE,OSPF,STATISTICS command displays statistics generated by the OSPF routing protocol. The statistics indicate how well the implementation is performing, including its memory and network utilization. Many of the fields displayed are confirmation of the OSPF configuration. A sample output with explanations of entries follows:

 

 EZZ7856I OSPF STATISTICS 366

    OSPF ROUTER ID:   9.167.100.13

    EXTERNAL COMPARISON: TYPE 1

    AS BOUNDARY CAPABILITY: NO

    IMPORT EXTERNAL ROUTES: NONE

    ORIG. DEFAULT ROUTE: NO

    DEFAULT ROUTE COST:  (1, TYPE 2)

    DEFAULT FORWARD. ADDR.: 0.0.0.0

 ATTACHED AREAS: 2 OSPF PACKETS RCVD: 194

 OSPF PACKETS RCVD W/ERRS:  1 TRANSIT NODES ALLOCATED:   82

 TRANSIT NODES FREED:   77 LS ADV. ALLOCATED:    53

 LS ADV. FREED:     40 QUEUE HEADERS ALLOC:    32

 QUEUE HEADERS AVAIL:   32 MAXIMUM LSA SIZE:    528

 # DIJKSTRA RUNS:    25 INCREMENTAL SUMM. UPDATES:  0

 INCREMENTAL VL UPDATES:   0

 MULTICAST PKTS SENT:   227 UNICAST PKTS SENT:    36

 LS ADV. AGED OUT:    0 LS ADV. FLUSHED:     10

 PTRS TO INVALID LS ADV:   0 INCREMENTAL EXT. UPDATES:  19

 

The fields for this output are:

OSPF ROUTER

ID Displays the router's OSPF router ID.

EXTERNAL COMPARISON

Displays the external route type used by the router when importing external routes.

AS BOUNDARY CAPABILITY

Displays whether external routes will be imported.

IMPORT EXTERNAL ROUTES

Displays the external routes that will be imported.

ORIG. DEFAULT ROUTE

Displays whether the router will advertise an OSPF default route.

DEFAULT ROUTE COST

Displays the cost and type of the default route (if advertised).

DEFAULT FORWARD ADDR

Displays the forwarding address specified in the default route (if advertised).

ATTACHED AREAS

Indicates the number of areas to which that the router has active interfaces.

OSPF PACKETS RCVD

Covers all types of OSPF protocol packets.

TRANSIT NODES

Allocated to store router links and network links advertisements.

LS ADV

Allocated to store summary link and AS external link advertisements.

QUEUE HEADERS

Form lists of link state advertisements. These lists are used in the flooding and database exchange processes; if the number of queue headers allocated is not equal to the number freed, database synchronization with a neighbor is in progress.

MAXIMUM LSA SIZE

The size of the largest link state advertisement that can be sent.

# DIJKSTRA RUNS

Indicates how many times the OSPF routing table has been calculated from scratch.

INCREMENTAL SUMM UPDATES, INCREMENTAL VL UPDATES

Indicate that new summary link advertisements have caused the routing table to be partially rebuilt.

MULTICAST PKTS SENT

Covers OSPF hello packets and packets sent during the flooding procedure.

UNICAST PKTS SENT

Covers OSPF packet retransmissions and the Database Exchange procedure.

LS ADV. AGED OUT

Indicates the number of advertisements that have hit 60 minutes. Link state advertisements are aged out after 60 minutes. Usually they are refreshed before this time.

LS ADV. FLUSHED

Indicates the number of advertisements removed (and not replaced) from the link state database.

INCREMENTAL EXT. UPDATES

Displays the number of changes to external destinations that are incrementally installed in the routing table.
