Configuring OSPFv3 area parameters

OSPFv3 has the same stub area and virtual link features as OSPFv2.
After you split an OSPFv3 AS into multiple areas, the LSA number is reduced and OSPFv3 applications

are extended. To further reduce the size of routing tables and the number of LSAs, configure the

non-backbone areas at an AS edge as stub areas.
Non-backbone areas exchange routing information through the backbone area, so the backbone and
non-backbone areas (including the backbone itself) must be fully meshed. If no connectivity can be

achieved, configure virtual links.

Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure OSPFv3 area parameters, enable OSPFv3.

Configuring a stub area

All the routers attached to a stub area must be configured with the stub command. The keyword

no-summary is only available on the ABR of the stub area.
If you use the stub command with the keyword no-summary on an ABR, the ABR advertises a default

route in an Inter-Area-Prefix LSA into the stub area. No AS External LSA, Inter-Area-Prefix LSA, or other
Inter-Area-Router LSA is advertised in the area. The stub area of this kind is also known as a "totally stub

area."
To configure an OSPFv3 stub area:

4.

Configure the area as a stub
area.

By default, no area is configured
as a stub area.

5.

(Optional.) Specify a cost for
the default route advertised to

the stub area.

default-cost value

The default setting is 1.

Configuring an OSPFv3 virtual link

You can configure a virtual link to maintain connectivity between a non-backbone area and the

backbone, or in the backbone itself.

IMPORTANT:

Both ends of a virtual link are ABRs that must be configured with the vlink-peer command.

Do not configure virtual links in the areas of a GR-capable process.
