Viewing OSPF neighbor information

Two routers that have interfaces to a common network are called neighbors and appear on each other's Neighbors tab. Neighbor relationships are maintained by, and usually dynamically discovered by, OSPF's Hello protocol. The exception is that, in an NBMA network, permanent neighbors are manually configured on each router eligible to become the DR.

To view the OSPF neighbors:

1. From the Device Manager menu bar, choose IP Routing > OSPF.

The OSPF dialog box opens with the General tab displayed.

2. Click the Neighbors tab.

The Neighbors tab opens.
