OSPF V3 configuration
OSPF V3 configuration
To configure OSPF V3, you must perform the following tasks:
1.
2.
3.
“Assigning interfaces to an area”
The following configuration tasks are optional:
•
Configure a virtual link between an ABR without a physical connection to a backbone area and
the Brocade device in the same area with a physical connection to the backbone area.
•
Change the reference bandwidth for the cost on OSPF V3 interfaces.
•
Configure the redistribution of routes into OSPF V3.
•
Configure default route origination.
•
Modify the shortest path first (SPF) timers.
•
Modify the administrative distances for OSPF V3 routes.
•
Configure the OSPF V3 LSA pacing interval
•
Modify how often the Brocade device checks on the elimination of the database overflow
condition.
•
Modify the external link state database limit.
•
Modify the default values of OSPF V3 parameters for router interfaces.
•
Disable or re-enable OSPF V3 event logging.
Enabling OSPF V3
Before enabling the Brocade device to run OSPF V3, you must do the following:
•
Enable the forwarding of IPv6 traffic on the Brocade device using the ipv6 unicast-routing
command.
•
Enable IPv6 on each interface over which you plan to enable OSPF V3. You enable IPv6 on an
interface by configuring an IPv6 address or explicitly enabling IPv6 on that interface.
By default, OSPF V3 is disabled. To enable OSPF V3, you must enable it globally.
To enable OSPF V3 globally, enter the ipv6 router ospf command.
Brocade(config-ospf-router)#ipv6 router ospf
Brocade(config-ospf6-router)#
After you enter this command, the Brocade device enters the IPv6 OSPF configuration level, where
you can access several commands that allow you to configure OSPF V3.
Syntax: [no] ipv6 router ospf
To disable OSPF V3, enter the no form of this command. If you disable OSPF V3, the Brocade device
removes all the configuration information for the disabled protocol from the running-config.
Moreover, when you save the configuration to the startup-config file after disabling one of these
protocols, all the configuration information for the disabled protocol is removed from the
startup-config file.
The CLI displays a warning message such as the following.
