Verify the OSPF neighbor relationships

Neighbor ID
→The router ID of the OSPF neighbor
Pri
→The priority of the neighbor
State
→The OSPF state between your
router and the neighbor.
Dead Time
→The amount of time left before
declaring the neighbor down if no
OSPF hello packets are received.
Address
→The IP address of the OSPF
neighbor on the directly connected
interface.
Interface
→The local interface through which
the OSPF neighbor is connected.

--------------------------------
Link ID
→The router ID of the router that originated this LSA.
(Type 1 LSA)
→The IP address of the Designated Router (DR) for the
network. (Type 2 LSA)
→The network address of the advertised destination.
(Type 3 LSA)
→The Router ID of the Autonomous System Boundary
Router (ASBR) (Type 4 LSA)
→Type 5 LSA represents the Network Address of the
external destination being advertised. (Type 5 LSA)
ADV Router
→The router advertising this LSA.
Age
→The time since this LSA was generated or refreshed.
Seq#:
→The sequence number to ensure routers have the
latest LSA.
Checksum
→Used for data integrity of the LSA.

→The next-hop IP address, which is the OSPF router
providing this route.
01:19:21:
→The time since this route was added or refreshed.
Ethernet2/0:
→The interface through which the router sends
