Implementing OSPFv3

To implement OSPFv3 in your network:

• Map out the AS including routers and the areas to which they belong
• Create an OSPFv3 routing instance for this AS
• Configure each router with a router ID
• Configure the area that each router belongs to
• Enable OSPFv3 on each routing interface for the router specifying the OSPFv3 process, area and optional instance
• Optionally enable IPsec and configure IPsec authentication or encrypted authentication on each routing interface
• Optionally determine which router will be the designated router and backup and configure OSPF priority values on each routing interface accordingly
• Optionally configure OSPFv3 timers
• Optionally, configure the protocols and route types that will be redistributed over this AS
• Optionally configure interface cost
• Optionally modify the administrative distance for OSPF routes
• Optionally enable graceful restart
• Optionally enable the BFD protocol on all OSPF interfaces (S-, K-Series)
• Optionally enable the PE-CE protocol on the router
  • With the PE-CE protocol enabled, optionally, configure a primary or secondary domain ID for this router
  • Optionally redistribute BGP discovered routes over OSPF (S-, 7100-Series)
