| IP Routing Commands
Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv3)
– 1792 –
General Guidelines
Follow these basic steps to configure OSPFv3:
1.
Assign an IPv6 link-local address to each VLAN interface that will
participate in an OSPF routing process. You can automatically generate
a link-local address using the ipv6 enable command, or manually assign
an address to an interface using the ipv6 address link-local command.
2.
Use the router ipv6 ospf command to create a local OSPF router
process and enter router configuration mode.
3.
Use the router-id command to assign a unique identifier to the router.
Note that the default router ID of “0.0.0.0” cannot be used with the
current software version.
4.
Use the ipv6 router ospf area command or the ipv6 router ospf tag area
command to assign an area to each interface that will participate in the
specified OSPF process.
General Configuration
router ipv6 ospf

◆
This command is used to enable an OSPFv3 routing process, and to
enter router configuration mode.
◆
The process-name is only used on the local router to distinguish
between different routing processes. It should not be confused with the
instance-id configured with the ipv6 router ospf area command which is
used to distinguish between different routing processes running on the
same link-local network segment.
