OSPFv3 Commands

Example

The following example sets the number of paths that OSPF can report for a

destination to 1.

console(config)#ipv6 router ospf

console(config-rtr)#maximum-paths 1

nsf

Use this command to enable OSPF graceful restart. Use the “no” form of this

command to disable graceful restart.

Syntax

nsf [ietf] [planned-only]
no nsf [ietf]
ietf — This keyword is used to distinguish the IETF standard

implementation of graceful restart from other implementations. Since the

IETF implementation is the only one supported, this keyword is optional.
planned-only — This keyword indicates that OSPF should only perform a

graceful restart when the restart is planned (i.e., when the restart is a result of

the initiate failover command).

Default Configuration

Graceful restart is disabled by default

Command Mode

Router OSPFv3 Configuration mode

User Guidelines

Graceful restart works in concert with nonstop forwarding to enable the

hardware to continue forwarding IPv6 packets using OSPFv3 routes while a

backup unit takes over management unit responsibility. When OSPF

executes a graceful restart, it informs its neighbors that the OSPF control

plane is restarting, but that it will be back shortly. Helpful neighbors continue

to advertise to the rest of the network that they have full adjacencies with the

restarting router, avoiding announcement of a topology change and
