ipv6 ospf

Use this command to configure the IPv6 OSPFv3 process ID, area, and optional instance on an interface.

Syntax

ipv6 ospf process area area [instance instance-id]
no ipv6 ospf process area area [instance instance-id]

Parameters

process Specifies an OSPFv3 process ID for this IPv6 interface.
area area Specifies the OSPFv3 area for this process. The area can be specified as either a decimal value from 0 - 4294967295 or in the dotted-quad notation A.B.C.D.
instance (Optional) Specifies an OSPFv3 instance for this interface. Configurable values are 1 - 255. The default value is 0. Instance 0 can not be removed.

Defaults

If an instance is not specified, the instance defaults to 0.

Mode

Interface configuration.

Usage

Enable OSPFv3 on the interface by specifying an OSPFv3 process and area at the interface level. You must first configure the process in OSPFv3 router configuration mode using ipv6 router ospf. The area is specified using a decimal value or dotted-quad notation.

OSPFv3 supports multiple OSPFv3 instances on an interface. An OSPFv3 interface instance allows several providers running separate OSPFv3 domains to share one or more physical network segments they may have in common. You can also use OSPFv3 interface instances to assign multiple OSPFv3 areas to a single interface. The OSPFv3 instance on an interface solely affects the reception of OSPFv3 packets.

The “no” form of this command removes .

Example

This example shows how to configure VLAN 15 for OSPFv3 process 60, area 77.0.0.0 instance 1:

System(su)->configure
System(su-config)->interface vlan 15
System(su-config-intf-vlan.0.15)->ipv6 ospf 60 area 77.0.0.0 instance 1
