You can manually configure the OSPFv3 link type for a VLAN. The following table describes the link types.
OSPFv3 Link Types
| Link Type | Number of Routers | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Auto |
Varies |
ExtremeXOS automatically determines the OSPFv3 link type based on the interface type. This is the default setting. |
|
Broadcast |
Any |
Routers must elect a designated router (DR) and a backup designated router (BDR) during synchronization. Ethernet is an example of a broadcast link. |
|
Passive |
|
A passive link does not send or receive OSPFv3 packets. |
Note
The number of routers in an OSPFv3 point-to-point link is determined per VLAN, not per link.All routers in the VLAN must have the same OSPFv3 link type. If there is a mismatch, OSPFv3 attempts to operate, but it may not be reliable.
