OSPF state

Displays the OSPF link state amongst neighbors within the OSPF topology. Link state information is
maintained in a link-state database (LSDB) which is a tree image of the entire network topology. Identical
copies of the LSDB are periodically updated through flooding on all OSPF supported nodes. Flooding is the
part of the OSPF protocol that distributes and synchronizes the link-state database between OSPF routers.

OSPF ignore state
count

Lists the number of times state requests have been ignored between the controller or service platform and its
peers within this OSPF supported broadcast domain.

OSPF ignore state
monitor timeout

Displays the timeout that, when exceeded, prohibits the controller or service platform from detecting changes
to the OSPF link state.

OSPF max ignore
state count

Displays whether an OSPF state timeout is being ignored and not utilized in the transmission of state update
requests amongst neighbors within the OSPF topology.

OSPF max routes

States the maximum number of routes negotiated amongst neighbors within the OSPF topology.

OSPF routes
received

Lists the routes received and negotiated amongst neighbors within the OSPF topology.
