ipv6 ospf priority
Enterasys G-Series CLI Reference 19-25
Mode
Router interface configuration: G3(su) ‐ >router(Config ‐ if(Vlan 1))#
Usage
Normally, the network type is determined from the physical IP network type. By default, all
Ethernet networks are OSPFv3 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 OSPFv3 designated router election. It is normally
not useful to set a tunnel to OSPFv3 network type broadcast.
Use the no form of this command to set the network type to the default.
Example
This example sets the network type to point ‐ to ‐ point for router interface VLAN 7.
G3(su)->router(Config)# interface vlan 7
G3(su)->router(Config-if(Vlan 7))# ipv6 ospf network point-to-point
ipv6 ospf priority
This command sets the OSPFv3 priority for the router interface. Router priority helps determine
the designated router for an OSPFv3 link.
Syntax
ipv6 ospf priority priority
no ipv6 ospf priority
Parameters
Defaults
Default priority value is 1.
Mode
Router interface configuration: G3(su) ‐ >router(Config ‐ if(Vlan 1))#
Usage
When two routers on the same network attempt to become the designated router, the one with the
higher router priority takes precedence. If there is a tie, the router with the higher router ID takes
precedence. A router with a router priority set to zero is ineligible to become the designated router
or backup designated router.
Use the no form of this command to return priority value to the default of 1.
Example
This example sets the priority for router interface VLAN 7 to 5.
G3(su)->router(Config)# interface vlan 7
G3(su)->router(Config-if(Vlan 7))# ipv6 ospf priority 5
priority Specifies the priority value, which can range from 0 to 255.
