Browse OSPF Neighbor Table

This table can be found in the OSPF Monitoring folder by clicking on the Browse OSPF Neighbor Table link. Routers that are
connected to the same area or segment become neighbors in that area. Neighbors are elected via the Hello protocol. IP multicast
is used to send out Hello packets to other routers on the segment. Routers become neighbors when they see themselves listed in a
Hello packet sent by another router on the same segment. In this way, two-way communication is guaranteed to be possible
between any two-neighbor routers. This table displays OSPF neighbors of the Switch.
To search for OSPF neighbors, enter an IP address and click Find. Valid OSPF neighbors will appear in the OSPF Neighbor
Table below.
