Browse OSPF Neighbor Table

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 view this
table, click Monitoring > OSPF Monitoring > Browse OSPF Neighbor Table.
To search for OSPF neighbors, enter an IP address and click Find. Valid OSPF neighbors will appear in the OSPF Neighbor
Table below.

This table displays a list of Virtual OSPF Neighbors of the Switch. To view this table click Monitoring > Browse OSPF
Virtual Neighbor Table > OSPF Monitoring. The user may choose to specifically search a virtual neighbor by using one of the
two search options at the top of the screen, which are:

Displays a sequence number corresponding to number of times the current link has been
advertised as changed.

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.
