    Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
    • NGFW (Managed by PAN-OS or Panorama)
    After you have committed an OSPF configuration, you can use any of the following operations to confirm that OSPF is operating.
    By viewing the routing table, you can see whether OSPF routes have been established. The routing table is accessible from either the web interface or the CLI. If you are using the CLI, use the following commands:
    • show routing route
    • show routing fib
    If you are using the web interface, use the following workflows:
    1. View the routing table.
      1. Select NetworkVirtual Routers and in the same row as the virtual router you are interested in, click the More Runtime Stats link.
      2. Select RoutingRoute Table and examine the Flags column of the routing table for routes that were learned by OSPF.
    2. Confirm that the firewall has established OSPF adjacencies.
      1. Select NetworkVirtual Routers and in the same row as the virtual router you are interested in, click the More Runtime Stats link.
      2. Select OSPFNeighbor and examine the Status column to determine if OSPF adjacencies have been established.
    3. View the System log to confirm that the firewall has established OSPF connections.
      1. Select MonitorSystem and look for messages to confirm that OSPF adjacencies have been established.
      2. Select OSPFNeighbor and examine the Status column to determine if OSPF adjacencies have been established (are full).
