ipv6 ospf network

Use this command to configure the OSPFv3 network link type.

Syntax

ipv6 ospf network {non-broadcast | broadcast | point-to-point | point-to-multipoint}
no ipv6 ospf network

Parameters

non-broadcast Specifies this interface is a non-broadcast or Non-Broadcast-Multi-Access (NBMA) network link type.
broadcast Specifies this interface is a broadcast network link type. Default.
point-to-point Specifies this interface is a point-to-point network link type.
point-to-multipoint Specifies this interface is a point-to-point network link type.

Defaults

None.

Mode

Interface configuration.

Usage

The “no” form of this command resets the network type to broadcast.

When routers in your network do not support multicast addressing, you can configure them as NBMA networks. NBMA networks can be configured as broadcast networks to avoid the need to configure neighbors. But configuring NBMA networks as either broadcast or nonbroadcast assumes a fully meshed virtual circuit network configuration. For partially meshed networks, configure network type to point-to-multipoint.

Example

This example shows how to set the OSPFv3 interface link type to point-to-point:

System(su)->configure
System(su-config)->interface vlan 15
System(su-config-intf-vlan.0.15)->ipv6 ospf network point-to-point
