Chapter 7 Configuring OSPFv3
Configuring Basic OSPFv3
The following example shows how to create an OSPFv3 instance:
switch# config t
switch(config)# router ospfv3 201
switch(config-router)# copy running-config startup-config
Configuring Networks in OSPFv3
You can configure a network to OSPFv3 by associating it through the interface that the router uses to
connect to that network (see the “Neighbors” section on page 7-3). You can add all networks to the
default backbone area (Area 0), or you can create new areas using any decimal number or an IP address.
Note All areas must connect to the backbone area either directly or through a virtual link.
Note OSPFv3 is not enabled on an interface until you configure a valid IPv6 address for that interface.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Ensure that you have enabled the OSPFv3 feature (see the “Enabling the OSPFv3 Feature” section on
page 7-13).
Ensure that you are in the correct VDC (or use the switchto vdc command).
