Modify an OSPFv3 Interface

Configure the OSPF protocol on IPv6 interface to support dynamic routing on the interface. The IPv6 interface can be a tunnel, port, VLAN, or a CLIP interface.

Note

The OSPFv3 over CLIP interface configuration is only supported on VSP 8600 Series.

Before you begin

The OSPFv3 interface must exist.

Procedure

In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > IPv6.
Select OSPFv3.
Select the Interfaces tab.
Double-click a cell to edit the value.
Select Apply.

Interfaces field descriptions

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


Name	Description
Index	Specifies the interface index for the IPv6 interface on which OSPFv3 is configured.
AreaId	Specifies the area ID to which the IPv6 interface connects. Use 0.0.0.0 for the OSPFv3 backbone.
Type Note: Value is not configurable for OSPFv3 CLIP interfaces.	Specifies the OSPFv3 interface type as one of the following: broadcast NBMA point-to-point point-to-multipoint passive
AdminStat	Specifies the administrative status for the OSPFv3 interface. If you enable the status, it is advertised as an internal route to some areas. If you disable the status, the interface is external to OSPFv3. The default is enabled.
RtrPriority Note: Value is not configurable for OSPFv3 CLIP interfaces.	Specifies the priority of this interface. Multiaccess networks use the priority in the designated router election. A higher priority value increases the chance the router becomes the designated router. A value of zero (0) indicates the router cannot become the designated router for the network. If more than one router uses the same priority value, the router ID determines the designated router. The default is 1.
TransitDelay Note: Value is not configurable for OSPFv3 CLIP interfaces.	Specifies the estimated number of seconds to transmit a link-state-update packet over this interface. The default is 1.
RetransInterval Note: Value is not configurable for OSPFv3 CLIP interfaces.	Specifies the number of seconds between retransmission of link-state advertisements for the adjacencies that belong to this interface, and for database description and link-state request packets. The default is 5.
HelloInterval Note: Value is not configurable for OSPFv3 CLIP interfaces.	Specifies the number of seconds between the hello packets that the router sends on this interface. You must configure this field to the same value for all routers attached to a common network. The default is 10.
RtrDeadInterval Note: Value is not configurable for OSPFv3 CLIP interfaces.	Specifies the number of seconds after which to declare a router down if no hello packets are received. You must configure this field to the same value for all routers attached to a common network. The default is 40.
PollInterval Note: Value is not configurable for OSPFv3 CLIP interfaces.	Specifies the number of seconds between hello packets sent to an inactive NBMA neighbor. The default is 120.
State	Shows the state of the OSPFv3 interface as one of the following: down loopback waiting pointToPoint designatedRouter backupDesginatedRouter otherDesignatedRouter
DesignatedRouter	Shows the router ID for the designated router.
BackupDesignatedRouter	Shows the router ID for the backup designated router.
MetricValue Note: Value is not configurable for OSPFv3 CLIP interfaces.	Specifies the cost for the interface. The default value for a brouter port or VLAN is 1. The default value for a tunnel is 100. Note: If you do not specify a cost for the interface, the switch dynamically updates the interface cost with the configured global OSPF default cost. The global OSPF default cost depends on the speed of the interface.
LinkLsaSuppression Note: Value is not configurable for OSPFv3 CLIP interfaces.	Specifies whether Link LSA suppression is enabled.
