# Displaying OSPF neighbor information using EDM

Use the following procedure to display OSPF neighbors.

## Prerequisites

- Install the Advanced License.

- Enable IP routing globally on the switch.

- Assign an IP address to the VLAN that you want to enable with OSPF.

  Routing is automatically enabled on the VLAN when you assign an IP address to it.

## Procedure steps

1. From the navigation tree, double-click IP Routing.

2. In the IP Routing tree, double-click OSPF.

3. In the work area, click the Neighbors tab.

4. Click Refresh to update the displayed information.

## Variable definitions

The following table describes the fields of the Neighbor tab.

Field | Description
--- | ---
IpAddr | Specifies the IP address this neighbor is using as an IP source address. On addressless links, this will not be represented as 0.0.0.0 but as the address of another of the neighbor's interfaces.
AddressLessIndex | Specifies the corresponding value of the interface index on addressless links. This value is zero for interfaces having an IP address.
RouterId | Specifies the unique ID of the neighboring router in the Autonomous System.
Options | Specifies a value corresponding to the neighbor's Options field.
Priority | Specifies the priority of the neighbor in the designated router election algorithm. A value of 0 indicates that the neighbor is not eligible to become the designated router on this particular network. This is a value between 0 and 255.
State | Specifies the state of the relationship with this neighbor.
Events | Specifies the number of times this neighbor relationship has changed state or an error has occurred.
RetransQLen | Specifies the current length of the retransmission queue.
NbmaNbrPermanence | Specifies the status of the entry. The values dynamic and permanent refer to how the neighbor came to be known.
HelloSuppressed | Specifies whether Hello packets are being suppressed to the neighbor.
InterfaceAddr | Specifies the neighbor's interface address.
