Note
You can configure OSPFv3 max-metric router LSA in either startup or non-startup mode. Configuring max-metric with non-startup mode, it is only applied once and is not persistent across reloads, or after the
clear ip ospf all command is issued.
-
Enter the
configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
device# configure terminal
-
Enter the
ip router-id command to specify the router ID.
device(config)# ip router-id 10.11.12.13
-
Enter the
ipv6 router ospf command to enter OSPFv3 router configuration mode and enable OSPFv3 on the device.
device(config)# ipv6 router ospf
-
Enter the
max-metric router-lsa command with the
external-lsa keyword and specify a value to configure the maximum metric value .
device(config-ipv6-router-ospf-vrf-default-vrf)# max-metric router-lsa external-lsa 1500
-
Enter the
max-metric router-lsa command with the
on-startup keyword and specify a value to specify a period of time to advertise a maximum metric after a restart before advertising with a normal metric.
device(config-ipv6-router-ospf-vrf-default-vrf)# max-metric router-lsa on-startup 85
The following example configures an OSPFv3 device to advertise a maximum metric and sets the maximum metric value for external LSAs to 1500, and configures the device to advertise a maximum metric for 85 seconds after a restart before advertising with a normal metric.
device# configure terminal
device(config)# ip router-id 10.11.12.13
device(config)# ipv6 router ospf
device(config-ipv6-router-ospf-vrf-default-vrf)# max-metric router-lsa external-lsa 1500
device(config-ipv6-router-ospf-vrf-default-vrf)# max-metric router-lsa on-startup 85
