Verifying OSPFv3 Status and Routes

To verify whether OSPFv3 works, you can take two different approaches. You can start at the end, looking at the IPv6 routes added by OSPFv3. If the correct routes show up in the correct routers’ routing tables, OSPFv3 must be working correctly. Alternately, you can proceed in the same order that OSPF uses to build the routes: First confirm the configuration settings, then look at the OSPF neighbors, then the OSPF database, and finally look at the routes OSPF added to the routing tables.

When speed matters, look at the routing table first. However, for the sake of learning, it helps to walk through the steps from start to finish, working through a variety of OSPFv3 show commands. The rest of this section works ...
