This command displays information about the link state database when OSPF is enabled for the specified virtual router. If no router is specified, it displays information for the default router. If you do not enter any parameters, the command displays the LSA headers for all areas. Use the optional areaid parameter to display database information about a specific area. Use the optional parameters to specify the type of link state advertisements to display.

| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| vrf-name | Specifies the virtual router for which to display information. |
| asbr-summary | Use asbr-summary to show the autonomous system boundary router (ASBR) summary LSAs. |
| external | Use external to display the external LSAs. |
| network | Use network to display the network LSAs. |
| nssa-external | Use nssa-external to display NSSA external LSAs. |
| opaque-area | Use opaque-area to display area opaque LSAs. |
| opaque-as | Use opaque-as to display AS opaque LSAs. |
| opaque-link | Use opaque-link to display link opaque LSAs. |
| router | Use router to display router LSAs. |
| summary | Use summary to show the LSA database summary information. |
| lsid | Use lsid to specify the link state ID (LSID). The value of lsid can be an IP address or an integer in the range of 0-4294967295. |
| adv-router | Use adv-router to show the LSAs that are restricted by the advertising router. |
| self-originate | Use self-originate to display the LSAs in that are self originated. The information below is only displayed if OSPF is enabled |
For each link-type and area, the following information is displayed if OSPF is enabled:
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Link Id | A number that uniquely identifies an LSA that a router originates from all other self originated LSAs of the same LS type. |
| Adv Router | The Advertising Router. Is a 32-bit dotted decimal number representing the LSDB interface. |
| Age | A number representing the age of the link state advertisement in seconds. |
| Sequence | A number that represents which LSA is more recent. |
| Checksum | The total number LSA checksum. |
| Options | This is an integer. It indicates that the LSA receives special handling during routing calculations. |
| Rtr Opt | Router Options are valid for router links only. |
