OSPFv3 Configuration Mode Commands

The OSPFv3 Configuration sub-mode is used to configure the OSPFv3 routing protocol. This mode includes commands that configure OSPFv3 routing parameters.

Mode

Exec > Global Configuration > Context Configuration > OSPFv3 Configuration

configure > context context_name > router ospfv3

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: 

[local]host_name(config-ospfv3)#

Important

The commands or keywords/variables that are available are dependent on platform type, product version, and installed license(s).


Important

For information on common commands available in this configuration mode, refer to the Common Commands chapter.

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: 

[local]host_name(config-ospfv3)#

Syntax

[ no ] area { decimal_value | ipv4address  } default-cost default_integer_value | stub [ no-summary ] | virtual-link virtuallink_neighbour_Ipv4_address [ dead-interval virtuallink_dead_interval ] [ hello-interval virtuallink_hello_interval ] [ retransmit-interval virtuallink_retransmit_interval ] [ transmit-delay virtuallink_transmit_delay ]

no

Disables authentication for the specified area.

decimal_value | ipv4address

decimal_value : Specifies the identification number of the area where authentication will be enabled as an integer from 0 through 4294967295.

ipv4address : Specifies the IP address of the area where authentication will be enabled in IPv4 dotted-decimal notation.

default-cost default_integer_value

Sets the OSPFV3 authentication area's default cost as an integer from 1 through 16777215.

stub [ no-summary ]

Sets the OSPFV3 stub area. Only Router-LSAs, Network-LSAs, Inter-area Prefix-LSAs, Intra-area Prefix-LSAs and Link-LSAs are allowed in a Stub area.

no-summary Does not inject inter-area routes into stub area.

virtual-link virtuallink_neighbour_Ipv4_address

Configures a virtual link to the authentication area.

virtuallink_neighbour_Ipv4_address is the IPv4 address for the virtual link of the authenticated area in dotted-decimal notation.

The following interval timers can be set for the virtual link:

  • dead-interval virtuallink_dead_interval : Sets the virtual link dead-interval (in seconds) as an integer from 1 through 65535.

  • hello-interval virtuallink_hello_interval : Sets the virtual link hello interval (in seconds) as an integer from 1 through 65535.

  • retransmit-interval virtuallink_retransmit_interval : Sets the virtual link retransmit interval (in seconds) as an integer from 1 through 3600.

  • transmit-delay virtuallink_transmit_delay : Sets the virtual link transmit delay (in seconds) as n integer from 1 through 3600.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to establish OPSFv3 areas and enable authentication.

Example

The following command enables authentication for an OSPFv3 area defined by the IP address 192.168.100.10 with default cost of 256 
area 192.168.100.10 default-cost 256

default-metric

Configures the default metric value for routes redistributed from another protocol into Open Shortest Path First Version 3 (OSPFv3).

[ no ]  default-metric default_metric_integer_value

no

Disables the default metric.

default_metric_integer_value

Specifies the default metric as an integer from 1 through 16777214.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to configure OPSFv3 default metric.

Example

The following command configures OSPFv3 default metric to 256 

default-metric 256

passive-interface

Configures an interface as being OSPFv3 passive. If a network interface is configured as passive, it will not receive or send any OSPFv3 packets.

no

Disables the passive interface.

interface_name

Specifies an OSPFv3 passive interface as an alphanumeric string of 1 through 79 characters.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to configure an OPSFv3 passive interface in this context.

Example

The following command configures the OSPF-if1 interface to be OSPFv3 passive.
