OSPF State
OSPF
An OSPF enabled controller or service platform sends hello packets to discover neighbors and elect
a designated router for dynamic links. The hello packet includes link state data periodically
updated on all OSPF members. The controller or service platform tracks link state information to
help assess the health of the OSPF dynamic route.
Interface Name Displays the IP addresses and mask defined as the virtual interface for dynamic OSPF routes. Zero config and
DHCP can be used to generate route addresses, or a primary and secondary address can be manually
provided.
Interface Index Lists the numerical index used for the OSPF interface. This interface ID is in the hello packets establishing the
OSPF network connection.
Bandwidth(kb) Lists the OSPF interface bandwidth (in Kbps) from 1 - 10,000,000.
Interface flags Displays the flag used to determine the interface status and how to proceed.
MTU Lists the OSPF interface maximum transmission unit (MTU) size. The MTU is the largest physical packet size
(in bytes) a network can transmit. Any packets larger than the MTU are divided into smaller packets before
being sent.
OSPF Enabled Lists whether OSPF has been enabled for each listed interface. OSPF is disabled by default.
UP/DOWN Displays whether the OSPF interface (the dynamic route) is currently up or down for each listed interface. An
OSPF interface is the connection between a router and one of its attached networks.
