The network option shows network information.
The nssa option shows network information.
The opaque-area option shows information for opaque areas.
The router-id <ip-addr> parameter shows the External LSAs for the specified OSPF router.
The sequence-number <num(Hex)> parameter displays the External LSA entries for the specified hexadecimal

The summary option shows summary information.
Displaying the Data in an LSA
You can use the CLI to display the data the Layer 3 Switch received in a specific External LSA packet or other type
of LSA packet. For example, to display the LSA data in entry 3 in the External LSA table, enter the following
command:
Syntax: show ip ospf database external-link-state [advertise <num>] | [link-state-id <ip-addr>] | [router-id <ip-
addr>] | [sequence-number <num(Hex)>] | [status <num>]
To determine an external LSA's or other type of LSA’s index number, enter one of the following commands to
display the appropriate LSA table:
• show ip ospf database link-state advertise <num> – This command displays the data in the packet for the
specified LSA.
• show ip ospf database external-link-state advertise <num> – This command displays the data in the
packet for the specified external LSA.
For example, to determine an external LSA's index number, enter the following command:
Displaying OSPF Virtual Neighbor Information
To display OSPF virtual neighbor information, enter the following command at any CLI level:
FESX424 Router> show ip ospf virtual-neighbor
FESX424 Router> show ip ospf database external-link-state advertise 3
