OSPF Monitoring

This section offers windows regarding OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) information on the

Switch, including the

OSPF LSDB Table

,

OSPF Neighbor Table

and the

OSPF Virtual

Neighbor Table

. To view these Tables, open the

Browse OSPF LSDB Table

This table can be found in the

OSPF Monitoring

folder by clicking on the

Figure 6- 30. OSPF LSDB Table

The user may search for a specific entry by entering the following information into the fields

at the top of the screen:

To browse the OSPF LSDB Table, you first must select which browse method you want to

use. The choices are

All

,

Area ID

,

Advertise Router ID

,

LSDB, Area ID and Advertise Router

ID, Area ID and LSDB,

and

Advertise Router ID and LSDB

.

If

All

is selected, the entire OSPF LSDB table will be displayed.

If

Area ID

is selected as the browse method, you must enter the IP address in the

Area ID

field, and then click

Find

.

If

Adv. Router ID

is selected, you must enter the IP address in the

Advertise Router ID

field,

and then click

Find

.

If

LSDB Type

is selected, you must select the type of link state (

RTRLink

,

NETLink,

Summary

,

ASSummary

, and

ASExtLink

) in the

LSDB Type

field, and then click

Find

.

The following fields are displayed:

Parameter

Description

Area ID

Allows the entry of an OSPF Area ID.

This Area ID will then be used to search

the table, and display an entry

−

if there is one.

LSDB Type

Displays which one of eight types of link advertisements by which the current

link was discovered by the switch:

All

, Router link (

RTRLink

), Network link

(

NETLink

), Summary link (

Summary

), Autonomous System link (

ASSummary

),

Autonomous System external link (

ASExternal)

, MCGLink (

Multicast Group

),

and NSSA (

Not So Stubby Area

)

Adv. Router ID

Displays the Advertising Router’s ID.

Link State ID

This field identifies the portion of the Internet environment that is being

described by the advertisement. The contents of this field depend on the

advertisement's LS type.

LS Type

Link State ID

____________________________________________

1

The originating router's Router ID.

2

The IP interface address of the network's Designated Router.

3

The destination network's IP address.

4

The Router ID of the described AS boundary router.

Cost

Displays the cost of the table entry.

Sequence

Displays a sequence number corresponding to number of times the current link

has been advertised as changed.

OSPF Neighbor Table

This table can be found in the

OSPF Monitoring

folder by clicking on the

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.

The table can be searched by the IP address of the

Neighbor Router.

Enter the Neighbor Router’s IP address and click the

Find

button.

Figure 6- 31. OSPF Neighbor Table

The following fields are displayed:

Parameter

Description

IP Address

This is the IP address of the OSPF neighbor router.

Neighbor Router

ID

The OSPF router ID for the remote router.

This IP address uniquely identifies

the remote area’s Area Border Router.

Option

This displays which operating option this router is using.

Priority

This is a measure of the relative priority of this route.q

State

This indicates the current state of this route.

Events

This logs changes in the state of this route.

OSPF Virtual Neighbor

This table can be found in the

OSPF Monitoring

folder by clicking on the

OSPF Virtual

Neighbor

link. This table displays a list of Virtual OSPF neighbors of the switch. The user

may choose specifically search a virtual neighbor by using one of the two search options at

the top of the screen, which are:

Figure 6- 32. OSPF Virtual Neighbor window

The following fields are displayed:

Parameter

Description

Transit Area ID

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.

Virtual Neighbor

ID

The OSPF router ID for the remote router.

This IP address uniquely identifies

the remote area’s Area Border Router.

IP Address

This is the IP address of the router.

Virtual Neighbor

Option

This displays which operating option this router is using.

Virtual Neighbor

State

This displays the current state of the route.

State Changes

This logs changes in the state of this route.

DVMRP Monitoring

This menu allows the

DVMRP

(Distance-Vector Multicast Routing Protocol) to be monitored

for each IP interface defined on the switch. This folder, found in the

Monitoring

folder, offers

3 screens for monitoring;

DVMRP Routing Table

,

DVMRP Neighbor Address Table

and

Page 195 / 216

D-Link DES-6500 Layer 3 Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch

177

DVMRP Routing Next Hop Table.

Information on DVMRP and its features in relation to

the DES-6500 can be found in Section 4, under

IP Multicasting

.

DVMRP Routing Table

Multicast routing information is gathered and stored by DVMRP in the DVMRP Routing

Table, which may be found in the Monitoring folder under DVMRP Monitoring, contains one

row for each route (source subnet) entry. Each routing entry contains multicast routing

information used by DVMRP in place of the unicast routing information. You may define

your search by entering a

Source IP Address

and its subnet mask into the fields at the top of

the page.

Figure 6- 33. DVMRP Routing Table

The following fields are displayed:

Parameter

Description

Source IP Address

This is the IP address of the multicast packets.

Source Mask

This is the subnet mask corresponding to the IP address above.

Upstream

Neighbor

This is the IP address of any router that is between the currently displayed

router and the source of the multicast packets.

Metric

This is a measure of the relative “cost” of this route.

Learned

This indicates how the switch discovered this route.

Interface Name

This is the name of the IP interface on which the DVMRP router resides.

Expire

This is the amount of time the route will be considered valid without being

renewed.

DVMRP Neighbor Address Table

This table, found in the

Monitoring

menu under

DVMRP Monitoring

contains information

about DVMRP neighbors of the Switch and is a read only screen.
