Configuring an OSPF interface
Configure an OSPF interface for designated router (DR) and backup designated router (BDR)
election to reduce the amount of routing traffic.
Prerequisites
Before you can configure OSPF parameters on an interface, you must first configure an IP
address on that interface.
Procedure steps
Configure an OSPF interface by using the following command:
config ipv6 ospf interface <interface-id>
Variable definitions
Use the data in the following table to use the config ipv6 ospf interface command.
Configuration — IPv6 Routing
Variable
Value
Specifies the hello interval, in seconds, at which
hello packets send between switches for a virtual
interface in an OSPF area. The range is 1–65535.
Displays OSPF virtual interface characteristics.
Specifies the address of an OSPF area. Use
dotted decimal notation to specify the area name.
Configures the retransmit interval for the OSPF
interface, the number of seconds between link-
state advertisement retransmissions.
seconds is an integer between 1–1800.
Configures the transit delay time for the OSPF
interface, the estimated time in seconds it takes
to transmit a link-state update packet over the
interface.
seconds is an integer between 1–1800.
