13.3.13.6 OSPF State


OSPF
An OSPF enabled access point sends hello packets to discover neighbors and elect a designated router for dynamic links.
The hello packet includes link state data maintained on each access point and is periodically updated on all OSPF
members. The access point tracks link state information to help assess the health of the OSPF dynamic route.
To view OSPF state statistics:
1. Select the Statistics
2. Select System
access point for statistical observation.
3. Select OSPF.
4. Select the OSPF State
5. The OSPF State tab describes the following:

from the navigation pane (on the left-hand side of the screen), expand the default node and select an
tab.
Figure 13-46 Access Point OSPF - State tab
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.
Lists the number of times state requests have been ignored between the
access point and its peers within this OSPF supported broadcast domain.
Displays the timeout that, when exceeded, prohibits the access point from
detecting changes to the OSPF link state.
