Troubleshooting OSPFv2

Use the information in this section to troubleshoot OSPFv2 operation on the switch.

Be sure to check the following, as these questions represent typical issues that interrupt an OSPFv2 process.
NOTE The following tasks are not a comprehensive; they provide some examples of typical troubleshooting checks.
  • Have you enabled OSPF globally?
  • Is the OSPF process active on the interface?
  • Are adjacencies established correctly?
  • Are the interfaces configured for Layer 3 correctly?
  • Is the router in the correct area type?
  • Have the routes been included in the OSPF database?
  • Have the OSPF routes been included in the routing table (not just the OSPF database)?
Some useful troubleshooting commands are:
  • show interfaces
  • show protocols
  • debug IP OSPF events and/or packets
  • show neighbors
  • show routes

To help troubleshoot OSPFv2, use the following commands.

  • View the summary of all OSPF process IDs enables on the router.
    EXEC Privilege mode
    show running-config ospf
  • View the summary information of the IP routes.
    EXEC Privilege mode
    show ip route summary
  • View the summary information for the OSPF database.
    EXEC Privilege mode
    show ip ospf database
  • View the configuration of OSPF neighbors connected to the local router.
    EXEC Privilege mode
    show ip ospf neighbor
  • View the LSAs currently in the queue.
    EXEC Privilege mode
    show ip ospf timers rate-limit
  • View debug messages.
    EXEC Privilege mode
    debug ip ospf process-id [event | packet | spf | database-timers rate-limit]
    To view debug messages for a specific OSPF process ID, use the debug ip ospf process-id command.
    If you do not enter a process ID, the command applies to the first OSPF process.
    To view debug messages for a specific operation, enter one of the optional keywords:
    • event: view OSPF event messages.
    • packet: view OSPF packet information.
    • spf: view SPF information.
    • database-timers rate-limit: view the LSAs currently in the queue.
