IBM SC30-3865-04 - Manual (Page 306)

next node
Indicates the router that will be the next hop (intermediate
destination) to the specified area.
state Indicates that this will be reachable or unreachable.
node-specifier argument
Shows the status of the volatile node routing database; this includes
information on the reachable nodes and the routes to them.
The node-specifiers can be any of the following:
active nodes
Provides information on all nodes that are currently reachable.
all nodes
Provides information on all nodes (up to the executor maximum
address). An all nodes display includes information on the
“pseudo-mode” area.0. A route to node area.0 is advertised by any
level two router which reaches other areas. Level one routers use
these routes to forward all packets to the nearest level one router
that knows how to get that packet to the correct area. There is no
other way to examine node 0, because it is not a legal node
address.
node node
Provides information on the specified node. If the node is not
provided, you will be prompted.
known nodes
Provides information on those nodes which are currently reachable.
The arguments include the following:
characteristics/ summary
Both subcommand options show the current state of the specified
nodes.
status Provides detailed information on the specified nodes, including cost
and hops.
Example:
show node status
This example shows the detailed status of a specific node.
Which node [1.9]? 2.26
