OSPF Neighbor Table
This table can be found in the OSPF Monitoring folder by clicking on the Browse OSPF Neighbor Table link.
Routers that are connected to the same area or segment become neighbors in that area. Neighbors are elected via
the Hello protocol. IP multicast is used to send out Hello packets to other routers on the segment. Routers
become neighbors when they see themselves listed in a Hello packet sent by another router on the same segment.
In this way, two-way communication is guaranteed to be possible between any two neighbor routers. This table
displays OSPF neighbors of the Switch.
