Variable Value
info Displays OSPF range characteristics.
ipaddr Specifies the address of an OSPF area. Use dotted
decimal notation to specify the area name.
ipv6addr-prefix Configures the IPv6 address range of an OSPF area.
The string length is 0–255 characters.
Configuring OSPF area virtual interfaces
If a remote OSPF ABR uses no connection to the backbone area but needs to be part of the
same routing domain (AS) in which the switch resides, configure an OSPFv3 virtual interface
to the ABR.
You can use any value for the OSPFv3 area name (for example, 1.1.1.1 or 200.200.200.200).
Important:
OSPFv3 behavior is modified according to OSPFv3 standards so that OSPFv3 routes
cannot be learned through an area border router (ABR) unless the router connects to the
backbone or through a virtual link.
Procedure steps
Configure an OSPFv3 area virtual interface by using the following command:
config ipv6 ospf area
<ipaddr>
virtual-interface
<ipaddr>
Variable definitions
Use the data in the following table to use the
config ip ospf area virtual-
interface
command.
Variable Value
create Creates a virtual interface for an area.
dead-interval <seconds> Specifies the dead interval, in seconds, as a
range 1–4095.
delete Deletes a virtual interface for an area.
