Link-state advertisement types for OSPFv3
• Ability to configure several IPv6 addresses on a device interface. (OSPFv3 imports all or none
of the address prefixes configured on a router interface. You cannot select the addresses to
import.)
• Ability to run one instance of OSPF Version 2 and one instance of OSPFv3 concurrently on a
link.
• IPv6 link-state advertisements (LSAs).
This section describes the commands that are specific to OSPFv3.
NOTE
Although OSPF Version 2 and OSPF 3 function similarly to each other, Brocade has implemented the
user interface for each version independently of the other. Therefore, any configuration of OSPFv2
features will not affect the configuration of OSPFv3 features and vice versa.
Link-state advertisement types for OSPFv3
OSPFv3 supports the following types of LSAs:
• Router LSAs (Type 1)
• Network LSAs (Type 2)
• Interarea-prefix LSAs for ABRs (Type 3)
• Interarea-router LSAs for ASBRs (Type 4)
• Autonomous system external LSAs (Type 5)
• Link LSAs (Type 8)
• Intra-area-prefix LSAs (Type 9)
For more information about these LSAs, refer to RFC 2740.
Configuring OSPFv3
To configure OSPFv3, you must perform the following steps.
• Enable OSPFv3 globally.
• Assign OSPF areas.
• Assign device interfaces to an OSPF area.
The following configuration tasks are optional:
• Configure a virtual link between an Area Border Router (ABR) without a physical connection to
a backbone area and the device in the same area with a physical connection to the backbone
area.
• Change the reference bandwidth for the cost on OSPFv3 interfaces.
• Configure the redistribution of routes into OSPFv3.
• Configure default route origination.
• Modify the shortest path first (SPF) timers.
• Modify the administrative distances for OSPFv3 routes.
• Configure the OSPFv3 LSA pacing interval.
