Viewing OSPF Interface Statistics

Use statistics to help you monitor Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) performance. You can also use statistics in troubleshooting procedures.

Procedure

To enter User EXEC mode, log on to the switch.
Display OSPF interface statistics:

show ip ospf ifstats [detail vrf WORD<0-16> vrfids WORD<0-512>] [mismatch vrf WORD<0-16> vrfids WORD<0-512>] [vlan <1-4059>] [vrf WORD<0-16>] [vrfids WORD<0-512>]

Example

Switch:1#show ip ospf ifstats

Variable Definitions

Use this table to help you use the show ip ospf ifstats command.


Variable	Value
detail	Shows detailed information.
mismatch	Shows the number of times the area ID is not matched.
vlan `<1-4059>`	Specifies the VLAN ID in the range of 1 to 4059. By default, VLAN IDs 1 to 4059 are configurable and the system reserves VLAN IDs 4060 to 4094 for internal use. On switches that support the vrf-scaling and spbm-config-mode boot configuration flags, if you enable these flags, the system also reserves VLAN IDs 3500 to 3998. VLAN ID 1 is the default VLAN and you cannot create or delete VLAN ID 1.
vrf `WORD<1-16>`	Specifies a VRF instance by VRF name.
vrfids `WORD<0-512>`	Specifies a VRF or range of VRFs by ID.
