Configuring OSPFv3 globally

Configure OSPFv3 globally to enable it on the system and to configure the router ID.

Before you begin

Change the VRF instance as required to configure OSPFv3 on a specific VRF instance.
Note
Non-default VRFs do not support the configuration of the following parameters:
- OSPFv3 interfaces over IPv6 tunnels
- IPSec on OSPFv3 virtual link interfaces

Procedure

In the navigation tree, expand the following folders: Configuration > IPv6.
Click OSPFv3.
Click the Globals tab.
Type the router ID, in the format of an IPv4 address.
Select enabled.
Optionally, select ASBdrRtrStatus to make the router an AS boundary router.

Enable the ASBR if the router attaches at the edge of the OSPF network, and has one or more interfaces that run an interdomain routing protocol. The default is disabled.
Click Apply.

Globals field descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the Globals tab.

Note

Different hardware platforms support different port speeds. For more information, see your hardware documentation.


Name	Description
RouterId	Specifies a 32–bit integer that identifies the router in the autonomous system. This value must be unique. The default value will be one of the IPv4 interface addresses.
AdminStat	Enables or disables OSPFv3 on the router. If you disable OSPFv3 globally, you disable it on all interfaces. The default is disabled.
VersionNumber	Shows the OSPF version number, which for IPv6 is version 3.
AreaBdrRtrStatus	Shows if the router is an area border router.
ASBdrRtrStatus	Configures the router as an autonomous system boundary router. The default is disabled (clear).
HelperModeDisable	Disables Graceful Restart Helper Mode feature.
AsScopeLsaCount	Shows the number of AS-external link-state advertisements in the LSDB.
AsScopeLsaCksumSum	Shows the sum of the checksums for the link-scope LSAs in the LSDB. Use the sum to determine if a change in the LSDB occurs, and to compare the LSDBs of the two routers.
OriginateNewLsas	Shows the number of new link-state advertisements. The number increases each time the router originates a new LSA.
RxNewLsas	Shows the number of new link-state advertisements received. This number does not include new instances of self-originated link-state advertisements.
ExtLsaCount	Shows the number of external (LS type 0x4005) LSAs in the LSDB.
10MbpsPortDefaultMetric	Indicates the default cost applied to 10 Mbps interfaces (ports). The default is 100.
100MbpsPortDefaultMetric	Indicates the default cost applied to 100 Mbps interfaces (ports). The default is 10.
1000MbpsPortDefaultMetric	Indicates the default cost applied to 1 Gbps interfaces (ports). The default is 1.
10000MbpsPortDefaultMetric	Indicates the default cost applied to 10 Gbps interfaces (ports). The default is 1.
25000MbpsPortDefaultMetric	Indicates the default cost applied to 25 Gbps interfaces (channelized 100 Gbps ports). The default is 1.
40000MbpsPortDefaultMetric	Indicates the default cost applied to 40 Gbps interfaces (ports). The default is 1.
100000MbpsPortDefaultMetric	Indicates the default cost applied to 100 Gbps interfaces (ports). The default is 1.
vlanDefaultMetric	Indicates the default cost applied to VLAN interfaces. The default is 10.
