--- title: "show ospf" canonical: "https://docs.infoblox.com/space/nios86/35822158/show%20ospf" format: markdown --- The `show`` ``ospf` command displays configuration and statistical information about the OSPF protocol that is running on the NIOS appliance. For information on how to change your OSPF settings, see [*set ospf*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios86/pages/35888339). # Syntax `show ospf {route | interface | database | neighbor | configuration}` The `show ospf` command displays information about the OSPF configuration on the appliance, reachability information about neighbors, and OSPF routes to destinations. You can specify the command with or without arguments. | **Argument** | **Description** | | --- | --- | | `route ` | Displays the OSPF routing table, as determined by the most recent SPF calculation. | | `interface` | Displays the state and configuration on all interfaces configured with OSPF. | | `database` | Displays all OSPF database information. | | `neighbor` | Displays the OSPF neighbor information. | | `configuration` | Displays the running OSPF configuration file. | # Examples `Infoblox > ``show`` ``ospf`` ``interface` ` eth0 is down` `  OSPF not enabled on this interface` `eth1 is up` `  Internet Address 172.32.0.61/24, Broadcast 172.32.0.255, Area 0.0.0.0 ` `  Router ID 172.32.0.61, Network Type BROADCAST, Cost: 100` `  Transmit Delay is 1 sec, State DROther, Priority 0` `  Designated Router (ID) 172.32.0.110, Interface Address 172.32.0.254 ` `  No backup designated router on this network` `  Timer intervals configured, Hello 10, Dead 40, Wait 3, Retransmit 5` `   Hello due in 00:00:01` `  Neighbor Count is 1, Adjacent neighbor count is 1` `lo is up` `  Internet Address 172.16.10.10/32, Area 0.0.0.0` `  Router ID 172.32.0.61, Network Type LOOPBACK, Cost: 100` `  Transmit Delay is 1 sec, State Loopback, Priority 0` `  No designated router on this network` `  No backup designated router on this network` `  Timer intervals configured, Hello 10, Dead 40, Wait 3, Retransmit 5` `   Hello due in inactive` `  Neighbor Count is 0, Adjacent neighbor count is 0 ` ` Infoblox > ``show`` ``ospf`` ``route` ` ============ OSPF network routing table ============` ` ``N 172.16.10.10/32   [100] area: 0.0.0.0` `                   directly attached to lo` `N 172.32.0.0/24     [100] area: 0.0.0.0` `                   directly attached to eth1` `============ OSPF router routing table ============= ` ` ============ OSPF external routing table ===========`
