Configuring OSPFv3 on the Routing Interface

OSPFv3 is enabled on an IPv6 routing interface using the ipv6 ospf command, specifying the OSPFv3 process and the OSPF area to which the interface belongs. A basic OSPFv3 routing interface configuration does not require a configured IPv6 address, only the link-local. If you want to configure an IPv6 address on the interface, use the ipv6 address command to manually configure an IPv6 address on the interface or the ipv6 address autoconfig command to have an IPv6 address autogenerated for the interface. The following OSPFv3 basic routing interface example:

• Creates interface VLAN 1255
• Enables IPv6 forwarding on the interface
• Displays a summary of the the IPv6 interface configuration
• Enables OSPFv3 for process 23 area 0.0.0.1 on the interface
