ipv6 router ospf

Enables and configures the Open Shortest Path First version 3 (OSPFv3) routing protocol.

Syntax

ipv6 router ospf [ vrf name ]

no ipv6 router ospf

Command Default

Disabled.

Parameters

vrf name: Specifies a nondefault VRF.

Modes

Global configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

If you save the configuration to the startup-config file after disabling OSPFv3, all OSPFv3 configuration information is removed from the startup-config file.

Use this command to enable the OSPFv3 routing protocol and enter OSPFv3 router or OSPFv3 router VRFconfiguration mode. OSPFv3 maintains multiple instances of the routing protocol to exchange route information among various VRF instances.

The no form of the command deletes all current OSPFv3 configurations and blocks any further OSPFv3 configuration.

Examples

The following example enables OSPFv3 on a default VRF and enters OSPFv3 router configuration mode.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# ipv6 router ospf
device(config-ipv6-router-ospf-vrf-default-vrf)#
