13.3.14.6 OSPF State

OSPF
An OSPF enabled access point sends hello packets to discover neighbors and elect a designated router for dynamic links. The
hello packet includes link state data maintained on each access point and is periodically updated on all OSPF members. The
access point tracks link state information to help assess the health of the OSPF dynamic route.

Figure 13-57 Access Point OSPF - State tab
tab describes the following:
Displays the OSPF link state amongst neighbors within the OSPF topology. Link state information
is maintained in a link-state database (LSDB) which is a tree image of the entire network topology.
Identical copies of the LSDB are periodically updated through flooding on all OSPF supported
nodes. Flooding is the part of the OSPF protocol that distributes and synchronizes the link-state
database between OSPF routers.
Lists the number of times state requests have been ignored between the access point and its peers
within this OSPF supported broadcast domain.
