Ospf Neighbor Table; Ospf Virtual Neighbor - D-Link dxs-3350sr Installation & User Manual

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.

OSPF Virtual Neighbor

by using one of the two search options at the top of the screen, which are:
Parameter

DXS-3350SR Gigabit Layer 3 Switch
Figure 8- 3 . OSPF Neighbor Table
Description
Allows the entry of an OSPF Area ID − previously defined on the Switch − that allows
a remote area to communicate with the backbone (area 0). A Transit Area cannot be
a Stub Area or a Backbone Area.
The OSPF router ID for the remote router. This IP address uniquely identifies the
remote area's Area Border Router.
