Figure 10-15. OSPFv3 Configuration
The OSPFv3 Configuration page contains the following fields:
Router ID
— The 32-bit integer in dotted decimal format that uniquely identifies the router within
the autonomous system (AS). If you want to change the Router ID you must first disable OSPFv3.
After you set the new Router ID, you must re-enable OSPFv3 to have the change take effect. The
default value is 0.0.0.0, although this is not a valid Router ID, and must be changed before you press
the
Apply Changes
button.
OSPFv3 Admin Mode
— Select Enable or Disable from the drop-down menu. If you select Enable,
OSPFv3 is activated for the switch. The default value is Enable. You must configure a Router ID before
OSPFv3 becomes operational. This can also be done by issuing the CLI command,
router-id
, in
the IPv6 router OSPF mode.
NOTE: Once OSPFv3 is initialized on the router, it remains initialized until the router is reset.
ASBR Mode
— Reflects whether the ASBR mode is enabled or disabled. Enable implies that the
router is an autonomous system border router. Router automatically becomes an ASBR when it is
configured to redistribute routes learned from other protocol.
