OSPFv3 Quick Steps
The followings steps are designed to show the user the necessary set of commands for setting up a router
to use OSPFv3:
1
Create a VLAN using the
vlan
command. For example:
-> vlan 5
-> vlan 5 admin-state enable
2
Create an IPv6 interface on the vlan using the
ipv6 interface
command. For example:
-> ipv6 interface test vlan 1
3
Configure an IPv6 address on the vlan using the
ipv6 address
command. For example:
-> ipv6 address 2001::/64 eui-64 test
4
Assign a port to the VLAN created in Step 1 using the
vlan members
command. For example:
-> vlan 1 members port 2/1 untagged
Note.
The port will be statically assigned to the VLAN, as a VLAN must have a physical port assigned to
it in order for the router port to function. However, the router could be set up in such a way that mobile
ports are dynamically assigned to VLANs using VLAN rules. See the chapter titled “Defining VLAN
Rules” in the
OmniSwitch AOS Release 7 Network Configuration Guide
.
5
Assign a router ID to the router using the
ip router router-id
command. For example:
-> ip router router-id 5.5.5.5
6
Load OSPFv3 using the
ipv6 load ospf
command. For example:
-> ipv6 load ospf
7
Create a backbone to connect this router to others, and an area for the router’s traffic using the
ipv6 ospf area
command. (Backbones are always labeled area 0.0.0.0.) For example:
-> ipv6 ospf area 0.0.0.0
-> ipv6 ospf area 0.0.0.1
8
Create an OSPFv3 interface for the VLAN created in Step 1 and assign the interface to an area identi-
fier using the
ipv6 ospf interface area
command. The OSPFv3 interface should use the same
interface
name used for the VLAN router IP created in Step 2. For example:
-> ipv6 ospf interface test area 0.0.0.0
Note
. The interface name
cannot
have spaces.
