NOTE
You are required to configure a router ID when running only IPv6 routing protocols.
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 do the following:
• Enable OSPFv3 globally.
• Assign OSPF areas.
• Assign router interfaces to an OSPF 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 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
• 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 OSPFv3 parameters for router interfaces.
• Disable or re-enable OSPFv3 event logging.
Enabling OSPFv3
Before enabling the Brocade device to run OSPFv3, you must do the following:
