OSPFv3 Limitations

BLADEOS 6.5 does not currently support the following OSPFv3 features:

Multiple instances of OSPFv3 on one IPv6 link.

Authentication via IPv6 Security (IPsec)

OSPFv3 Configuration Example

The following example depicts the OSPFv3 equivalent configuration of “Example 3: Summarizing Routes” on page 295 for OSPFv2.

In this example, one summary route from area 1 (stub area) is injected into area 0 (the backbone). The summary route consists of all IP addresses from the 36::0/32 portion of the 36::0/56 network, except for the routes in the 36::0/8 range.

Note – You can specify a range of addresses to prevent advertising by using the hide option. In this example, routes in the 36::0/8 range are kept private.

Use the following procedure to configure OSPFv3 support as shown in Figure 36:

1.Configure IPv6 interfaces for each link which will be attached to OSPFv3 areas.

RS G8124(config)# interface ip 3

RS G8124(config-ip-if)#ipv6 address 10:0:0:0:0:0:0:1

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# ipv6 prefixlen 56

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# enable

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# exit

RS G8124(config)# interface ip 4

RS G8124(config-ip-if)#ip address 36:0:0:0:0:0:1

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# ipv6 prefixlen 56

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# enable

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# exit

This is equivalent to configuring the IP address and netmask for IPv4 interfaces.
