LSDbShow
Figure B-56 shows the
LSDbShow
command which displays domain Link
State Database entries. The fields are described in Table B-19. The database
record for any Fabric Switch can be displayed from any Switch. It also gives
the same information regardless of Switch used to run it (unless there is a
database update in progress, which occurs every 10 minutes in a stable
network).
Every Switch keeps a database of topology information associated with itself
and the other Fabric Switches. The topology information for a Switch consists
of all neighbors that are in NB_ST_FULL state, and the associated port
numbers.
This replicated database remains in sync at all times, so that every Switch in
the Fabric has the same topology view. The topology database, in turn, is used
to compute the path from a Switch to all other Fabric Switches.
With no parameters the command shows all the Link State Records in the
database instead of the LSR for domain 1.
The command syntax is
LSDbShow <domain ID>
.
