Configuring Ospfv3 Network Types; Configuration Prerequisites; Configuring The Ospfv3 Network Type For An Interface - HP 5500 EI series Configuration Manual

To configure a virtual link:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter OSPFv3 view.
3. Enter OSPFv3 area view.
4. Configure a virtual link.

Configuring OSPFv3 network types

OSPFv3 classifies networks into the following types by the link layer protocol:
Broadcast—When the link layer protocol is Ethernet or FDDI, OSPFv3 considers the network type
•
as broadcast by default.
NBMA—When the link layer protocol is ATM, Frame Relay, or X.25, OSPFv3 considers the network
•
type as NBMA by default.
P2P—When the link layer protocol is PPP, LAPB, HDLC, or POS, OSPFv3 considers the network type
•
as P2P by default.
Follow these guidelines when you change the network type of an OSPFv3 interface:
An NBMA network must be fully connected. Any two routers in the network must be directly
•
reachable to each other through a virtual circuit. If no such direct link is available, you must change
the network type through a command.
If direct connections are not available between some routers in an NBMA network, the type of
•
interfaces associated must be configured as P2MP, or as P2P for interfaces with only one neighbor.

Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure OSPFv3 network types, enable OSPFv3.

Configuring the OSPFv3 network type for an interface

Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Configure a network type for
the OSPFv3 interface.

interface depends on the media type
of the interface.
