Decoupling the FIB from an OSPF router may create routing loops and could cause major routing issues in the complete OSPF cloud. Only routers with just one link to the OSPF cloud can safely decouple the FIB. .It Cm fib reload Refetches and relearns the routes in the Forwarding Information Base a.k.a. the kernel routing table. .It Cm log brief Disable verbose debug logging. .It Cm log verbose Enable verbose debug logging. .It Cm reload Reload the configuration file. .It Cm show database Op Ar filter Show the link state database. .Ar filter can be any one of the following: .Pp .Bl -tag -width "self-originatedXX" -compact .It Cm area Ar ID Show only LSAs from the specified area .Ar ID . .It Cm asbr Show only ASBR LSAs. .It Cm external Show only AS-External LSAs. .It Cm network Show only Network LSAs. .It Cm router Show only Router LSAs. .It Cm self-originated Show only self-originated LSAs. .It Cm summary Show only Summary LSAs. .El .It Cm show fib Op Ar destination | filter Show the Forwarding Information Base. .Ar destination can be specified to show the route matching a destination IP address. .Ar filter can be any of the following: .Pp .Bl -tag -width "interfaceXXinterfaceXX" -compact .It Cm connected Show only connected routes. .It Cm interface Op Ar interface Show only interfaces or the specified .Ar interface . .It Cm ospf Show only OSPF routes. .It Cm static Show only static routes. .El .Pp .Cm connected , .Cm ospf and .Cm static may be specified together. .It Cm show interfaces Op Ar interface Show details for all interfaces or the specified .Ar interface . .It Cm show neighbor Op Cm detail Show neighbors. .Cm detail can be specified for additional detail. .It Cm show rib Op Cm detail Show the Routing Information Base. .Cm detail can be specified for additional detail. .It Cm show summary Show summary information. .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width "/var/run/ospfd.sockXX" -compact .It /var/run/ospfd.sock .Ux Ns -domain socket used for communication with .Xr ospfd 8 . .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ospfd.conf 5 , .Xr ospfd 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm program first appeared in .Ox 3.7 .
