OSPFv3 Edge Mode

OSPFv3 (Open Shortest Path First version 3) Edge Mode is a subset of OSPFv3 available on platforms with an Advanced Edge license.

There are two restrictions on OSPFv3 Edge Mode:
  • At most, four Active OSPFv3 VLAN (Virtual LAN) interfaces are permitted. There is no restriction on the number of Passive interfaces.

  • The OSPFv3 Priority on VLANs is 0, and is not configurable. This prevents the system from acting as a DR or BDR.
