Configuring Route Redistribution to OSPFv3 in GRT mode

Configure a redistribute entry to announce certain routes into the OSPFv3 domain, including static routes, direct routes, RIPng, OSPF routes, IS-IS routes, or Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routes. Optionally, use a route policy to control the redistribution of routes.

Note

RIPng is not virtualized, therefore RIPng redistribution in OSPFv3 works only in GRT.

Before you begin

• Enable OSPFv3 globally.

• Ensure that a route policy exists.

• Ensure that you set OSPFv3 as the boundary router.

Note

The route policies treat permit and deny rules differently for inbound and outbound traffic.

• For a redistribute policy (OSPFv3) using a route-map, even if a particular route is not explicitly allowed in the redistribution policy or out-policy with the route-map, then the route is implicitly denied.

• In order to permit or deny only explicit routes, configure a policy with additional sequences, where, the last sequence permits all routes that are not explicitly permitted or denied.

• You configure OSPF on a VRF instance the same way you configure the GlobalRouter, except that you must use VRF Router configuration mode and replace ipv6 with ipv6 ospf.

1. Enter OSPF Router Configuration mode:

   enable

   configure terminal

   router ospf

2. Create the redistribution instance:

   ipv6 redistribute <bgp|direct|isis|rip|static>

   

   Note

   The switch loads the existing configuration when you upgrade to the current release. Once you have the configuration file saved using the current release, only the new configuration will be loaded.

3. Apply a route policy if required:

   ipv6 redistribute <bgp|direct|isis|rip|static> route-map WORD<0-64>

   

   Note

   No inter-vrf Route Redistribution is supported for IPv6.

4. Configure other parameters, as required.
5. Enable the redistribution.

   ipv6 redistribute <bgp|direct|isis|rip|static> enable

6. Ensure that the configuration is correct:

   show ipv6 ospf redistribute [vrf WORD<1-16>] [vrfids WORD<0-512>]

7. Exit to Global Configuration mode:

   exit

8. Apply the redistribution.

   ipv6 ospf apply redistribute <bgp|direct|isis|rip|static> [vrf WORD<1-16>]

   Changes do not take effect until you apply them.

9. View all routes that are redistributed into OSPFv3:
   1. View the routes that are redistributed from the GRT to OSPFv3:

      show ipv6 ospf redistribute

   2. View the routes that are redistributed to OSPFv3 for a specific VRF instance:

      show ipv6 ospf redistribute [vrf WORD<1–64>] [vrfids WORD<0–512>]

Example

Redistribute static routes from the GRT to OSPF.

Create the redistribution instance, apply a route policy, enable redistribution, and apply the redistribution.

Switch:1(config-ospf)#ipv6 redistribute static
