Displaying OSPF database link state information
To display database link state information, enter the following command at any CLI level.
Syntax: show ip ospf database link-state [advertise <num>] | [asbr] | [extensive] | [link-state-id 
<ip-addr>] | [network] | [nssa] | [router] | [router-id <ip-addr>] | [sequence-number 
<num(Hex)>] | [summary]
The advertise <num> parameter displays the hexadecimal data in the specified LSA packet. The 
<num> parameter identifies the LSA packet by its position in the router’s External LSA table. To 
determine an LSA packet’s position in the table, enter the show ip ospf external-link-state 
command to display the table. 
The asbr option shows ASBR information.
The extensive option displays the LSAs in decrypted format.
