Troubleshooting Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
Do the following to troubleshoot an OSPF routing problem:
1. Use the Events Manager or the Technician Interface to filter the log to
display messages of all severity levels for OSPF running on the slots in
question.
The Technician Interface command is
log -fftwid -eOSPF -s
<slot_no.>
Example
If you are filtering events from Slots 3 and 4, you enter
log -fftwid -eOSPF -s3 -s4
2.
Enter the following command to check the base records:
get wfOspfBase.*.0
The most important attributes are as follows:
• The State attribute shows whether OSPF is up (1), down (2), initializing
(3), or not present (4).
You cannot change this setting.
• The Create attribute reveals whether OSPF is created (1) or deleted
(not 1).
• The Enable attribute reveals whether OSPF is enabled (1) or disabled (2).
3. Check the OSPF neighbor states to determine the exchange state with
other OSPF routers on the network.
Neighbor states should be either two-way or full; the other states (init,
exchange start, or loading) are interim or transition states. Investigate any
routers or links that do not recover from these states.
4. Look at the link state data base (LSDB) of the router.
This is the information from which the router builds its routing table.
Note: In Version 8.01 and higher, you can restrict the amount of OSPF
information that appears in a log. Remove these filters when trying to
troubleshoot a problem.
