446 CHAPTER 34: IPV6 OSPFV3 CONFIGURATION
Configuring OSPFv3
Basic Functions
Prerequisites ■ Make neighboring nodes accessible with each other at network layer.
■ Enable IPv6 packet forwarding
Configuring OSPFv3
Basic Functions
Follow these steps to configure OSPFv3 basic functions:
n
■ Configure an OSPFv3 process ID when enabling OSPFv3. The process ID takes
effect locally, without affecting packet exchange between routers.
■ When configuring a router ID, make sure each router has a unique ID.
■ You need to specify a router ID manually, which is necessary to make OSPFv3
work.
Configuring OSPFv3
Area Parameters
The stub area and virtual link support of OSPFv3 has the same principle and
application environments with OSPFv2.
Splitting an OSPFv3 AS into multiple areas reduces the number of LSAs on
networks and extends OSPFv3 application. For those non-backbone areas residing
on the AS boundary, you can configure them as Stub areas to further reduce the
size of routing tables on routers in these areas and the number of LSAs.
Non-backbone areas exchange routing information via the backbone area.
Therefore, the backbone and non-backbone areas, including the backbone itself
must maintain connectivity. In practice, necessary physical links may not be
available for connectivity. You can configure virtual links to address it.
