(OSPF)
mismatchDead
Number of router dead interval mismatches that were detected
Interpretation:
■
A non-zero value is bad and means that some OSPF routers 
on the interface are configured with a different dead 
interval than this router. This prevents the router from 
becoming a neighbor with these other routers.
This statistic is incremented under the following circumstances:
■
When an OSPF Hello packet is received and the dead interval 
it defines is different from the dead interval configured on 
the OSPF interface.
mismatchHello
Number of Hello packet interval mismatches that have been 
detected
mismatchMask
Number of subnet mask mismatches that have been detected
packetXsumError
Number of packet checksum errors since the interface has 
come up
receiveDD
Number of database description packets that were received 
from valid OSPF neighbors.
Interpretation:
■
A non-zero value is OK.
Database description packets are sent when forming 
adjacencies with valid neighbors. A large number of 
receiveDD packets in a network whose configuration has 
not changed could indicate that adjacencies are being torn 
down and reestablished.
This statistic is incremented under the following circumstances:
■
When an OSPF database descriptor packet from a valid OSPF 
neighbor is received.
receivedUnknown
Number of unknown LSAs that have been received
