configure ospfv3 interface priority

configure ospfv3 [vlan vlan_name | tunnel tunnel_name | [vlan | tunnel] all] priority priority

Description

Configures the priority used in the designated router and backup designated router election algorithm for one or all OSPFv3 (Open Shortest Path First version 3) interface(s).

Syntax Description

vlan_name Specifies an IPv6 configured VLAN (Virtual LAN).
tunnel_name Specifies an IPv6 tunnel.
all Specifies all IPv6 configured VLANs or all IPv6 tunnels.
priority Specifies a priority range. The range is 0 through 255.

Default

The default setting is 1.

Usage Guidelines

When two routers are attached to a network, both attempt to become the designated router. The one with the higher priority takes precedence. If there is a tie, the router with the higher router ID takes precedence. Setting the value to 0 ensures that the router is never selected as the designated router or backup designated router.

Example

The following command sets the priority of the interface VLAN corporate to 10:

configure ospfv3 vlan corporate priority 10

History
