typical troubleshooting checks.
• Has OSPF been enabled 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)?

• show protocols
• debug ip ospf events and/or packets
• show neighbors
• show virtual links
• show routes
