6.3 Example 1 validation
In addition to sending traffic between hosts, the configuration shown in Figure 12 can be validated with the
commands shown in this section. For more information on commands and output, see the Command Line
Reference Guide for the applicable switch (links to documentation are provided in Appendix C).
Command and output examples are provided for one spine and one leaf switch. Command output on other
switches is similar.
6.3.1 show ip ospf neighbor
This command shows the state of all connected OSPF neighbors. In this configuration, each spine has four
neighbors (the four leaf switches) and each leaf switch has two neighbors (the two spine switches).
