ipv6 ospf network
Use the ipv6 ospf network command in Interface Configuration mode to change the default OSPF
network type for the interface. Normally, the network type is determined from the physical IP
network type. By default all Ethernet networks are OSPF-type broadcast. Similarly, tunnel
interfaces default to point-to-point. When an Ethernet port is used as a single large bandwidth IP
network between two routers, the network type can be point-to-point since there are only two
routers. Using point-to-point as the network type eliminates the overhead of the OSPF designated
router election. It is normally not useful to set a tunnel to OSPF network type broadcast.
Syntax
ipv6 ospf network { broadcast | point-to-point }
no ipv6 ospf network
• broadcast—The network type is broadcast.
• point-to-point—The network type is point-to-point.
Default Configuration
Broadcast is the default state.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (VLAN, Tunnel, Loopback) mode
User Guidelines
This command has no user guidelines.
Example
The following example changes the default OSPF network type to point-to-point.
console(config)#interface vlan 15
console(config-if-vlan15)#ipv6 ospf network point-to-point
ipv6 ospf priority
Use the ipv6 ospf priority command in Interface Configuration mode to set the OSPF priority for
the specified router interface.
Syntax
ipv6 ospf priority priority
no ipv6 ospf priority
• priority—OSPF priority for specified interface. (Range: 0-255. A value of 0 indicates that
the router is not eligible to become the designated router on this network)
