Layer 3 enhancements
Description
You can configure an interface to send OSPF
unicast packets rather than broadcast packets to
its neighbor by configuring non-broadcast
multi-access (NBMA) networks.
VSRP redundancy and sub-second failover for
Layer 3 topologies is available in this release.
This is a new VSRP command that will delay the
sending of port "up"/"down" events.
Forwarding for Layer 3 IP switching technology for
the forwarding of IPv6 packets.See the
"Configuring Basic IPv6 Connectivity" chapter of
the BigIron RX Series Configuration Guide.
As with the Internet Control Message Protocol
(ICMP) for IPv4, ICMP for IPv6 provides error and
informational messages.
ICMP Router Discovery Protocol (IRDP) to
advertise the IP addresses of its router interfaces
to directly attached hosts.
IPv6 supports OSPF version 3 (OSPFv3), which
functions similarly to OSPF version 2.
Brocade's implementation of IPv6 supports multi
protocol BGP (MBGP) extensions, which allow
IPv6 BGP (known as BGP4+) to distribute routing
information for protocols such as IPv4 BGP.
IPv6 RIP, known as Routing Information Protocol
Next Generation or RIPng, functions similarly to
IPv4 RIP version 2. RIPng supports IPv6
addresses and prefixes.
