configure ospfv3 add interface
configure ospfv3 {domain <domainName>} add [vlan <vlan-name> | tunnel
<tunnel-name>] {instance-id <instanceId>} area <area-identifier> link-type
[auto | broadcast | point-to-point] {passive}
Description
Enables OSPFv3 on an interface.
Syntax Description
Default
The default link-type is Auto.
The default instance ID is 0.
Usage Guidelines
This command is used to enable the OSPFv3 protocol on an IPv6 configured VLAN or an IPv6 tunnel.
The instance ID is used to control the selection of other routers as neighbors. The router will become a
neighbor only with routers that have the same instance ID.
An interface can have only one instance ID associated with it in one OSPFv3 domain. However, the
same interface can be associated with another OSPFv3 domain with a different instance ID. An interface
associated with two OSPFv3 domains cannot have same instance ID.
To change the instance ID associated with an interface, you must first remove the interface from the
OSPFv3 area and then add it back with a different instance ID.
The passive parameter indicates that the router only synchronizes and listens, and does not originate or
send any new information on the interface.
Enable IPv6 forwarding before enabling OSPFv3, otherwise, you will receive a warning message.
domainName
Specifies an OSPFv3 domain. OSPF-Default is the only one currently
supported.
vlan-name
Specifies an IPv6 configured VLAN.
tunnel-name
Specifies an IPv6 tunnel.
instanceId
Specifies the instance ID for this interfaces. Range is 0 to 255.
area-identifier
Specifies the area to which the VLAN is assigned.
auto
Specifies to automatically determine the OSPFv3 link type based on the
interface type.
broadcast
Specifies a broadcast link, such as Ethernet. Routers must elect a DR and a
BDR during synchronization.
point-to-point
Specifies a point-to-point link type, such as PPP.
passive
Specifies to stop sending and receiving hello packets on this interface.
