SN

Age

The link state sequence number, used to remove previous duplicate LSAs.

The number of seconds since this LSA was originated.

Displaying the Neighbor Table

Each router exchanges link state information with all neighbors physically attached to the same network segment. This table displays a summary of the link state for all adjacent neighbors. (Note that neighboring routers are discovered by this device via Hello messages.)

 

Parameter

Description

 

 

 

 

IP Address

IP address of the neighboring router.

 

 

ID

The index number of the router interface to which this neighbor is

 

 

 

attached. For IP protocol, this value will always be zero.

 

 

Router ID

The OSPS identifier for the neighboring router.

 

 

Option

The optional OSPF capabilities supported by the neighbor. The

 

 

 

neighbor's optional OSPF capabilities are also listed in its Hello

 

 

 

packets. This enables received Hellos to be rejected (i.e., neighbor

 

 

 

relationships will not even start to form) if there is a mismatch in

 

 

 

certain crucial OSPF capabilities. The OSPF optional capabilities

 

 

 

currently accepted include external routing capability and TOS

 

 

 

capability.

 

 

 

You need to map the binary bits to the supported options. For

 

 

 

example, “3” indicates both routing capability and TOS capability.

 

 

Priority

The neighbor’s router priority. This priority is used in electing the

 

 

 

designated router for the area in which it exists. This value will be set

 

 

 

to zero if this router cannot be elected.
