Enabling OSPFv3
Before you enable OSPFv3, configure IPv6 addresses for interfaces to ensure IPv6 connectivity between neighboring nodes.
To enable an OSPFv3 process on a router:
Enable the OSPFv3 process globally.
Assign the OSPFv3 process a router ID.
Enable the OSPFv3 process on related interfaces.
The router ID uniquely identifies the router within an AS. If a router runs multiple OSPFv3 processes, you must specify a unique router ID for each process.
An OSPFv3 process ID has only local significance. Process 1 on a router can exchange packets with process 2 on another router.
To enable OSPFv3:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enable an OSPFv3 process and enter its view. | ospfv3 [ process-id | vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] * | By default, no OSPFv3 process is enabled. |
3. Specify a router ID. | router-id router-id | By default, no router ID is configured. |
4. Enter interface view. | interface interface-type interface-number | N/A |
5. Enable an OSPFv3 process on the interface. | ospfv3 process-id area area-id [ instance instance-id ] | No OSPFv3 process is enabled on an interface by default. |
