Prerequisites
Before configuring OSPFv3 network types, you have configured:
IPv6 functions
OSPFv3 basic functions
Configuring the OSPFv3 Network Type for an Interface
Follow these steps to configure the OSPFv3 network type for an interface:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter interface view
Configure a network type for
the OSPFv3 interface
Configuring an NBMA or P2MP Neighbor
For NBMA and P2MP interfaces (only when in unicast mode), you need to specify the link-local IP
addresses of their neighbors because such interfaces cannot find neighbors via broadcasting Hello
packets. You can also specify DR priorities for neighbors.
Follow these steps to configure an NBMA or P2MP (unicast) neighbor and its DR priority:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter interface view
Specify an NBMA or P2MP (unicast)
neighbor and its DR priority
Configuring OSPFv3 Routing Information Control
This section is to configure the control of OSPF routing information advertisement and reception, and
redistribution from other protocols.
Prerequisites
Enable IPv6 packet forwarding
Configure OSPFv3 basic functions
Configuring OSPFv3 Route Summarization
If contiguous network segments exist in an area, you can use the abr-summary command to
summarize them into one network segment on the ABR. The ABR will advertise only the summary route.
Any LSA falling into the specified network segment will not be advertised, reducing the LSDB size in
other areas.
Use the command...
system-view
interface interface-type
interface-number
ospfv3 network-type
{ broadcast | nbma | p2mp
[ non-broadcast ] | p2p }
[ instance instance-id ]
Use the command...
system-view
interface interface-type interface-number
ospfv3 peer ipv6-address [ dr-priority
dr-priority ] [ instance instance-id ]
