Deployment Guide

○ For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the stack/slot/port[/subport] information.
○ For a 50-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fiftyGigE then the stack/slot/port/subport information.
○ For a 100-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword hundredGigE then the stack/slot/port information.
○ For a port channel interface, enter the keywords port-channel then a number.
○ For a VLAN interface, enter the keyword vlan then a number from 1 to 4094.
To enable both receiving and sending routing updates, use the no passive-interface interface command.
To indicate that hello packets are not transmitted on that interface, when you configure a passive interface, the show ipv6
ospf [vrf vrf-name] interface command adds the words passive interface.
Redistributing Routes
You can add routes from other routing instances or protocols to the OSPFv3 process.
With the redistribute command, you can include RIP, static, or directly connected routes in the OSPF process. Route
redistribution is also supported between OSPF Routing process IDs.
To add redistributing routes, use the following command.
● Specify which routes are redistributed into the OSPF process.
CONF-IPV6-ROUTER-OSPF mode
redistribute {bgp | connected | static} [metric metric-value | metric-type type-value]
[route-map map-name] [tag tag-value]
Configure the following required and optional parameters:
○ bgp | connected | static: enter one of the keywords to redistribute those routes.
○ metric metric-value: The range is from 0 to 4294967295.
○ metric-type metric-type: enter 1 for OSPFv3 external route type 1 OR 2 for OSPFv3 external route type 2.
○ route-map map-name: enter a name of a configured route map.
○ tag tag-value: The range is from 0 to 4294967295.
Configuring a Default Route
To generate a default external route into the OSPFv3 routing domain, configure the following parameters.
To specify the information for the default route, use the following command.
● Specify the information for the default route.
CONF-IPV6-ROUTER-OSPF mode
default-information originate [always [metric metric-value] [metric-type type-value]]
[route-map map-name]
Configure the following required and optional parameters:
○ always: indicate that default route information is always advertised.
○ metric metric-value: The range is from 0 to 4294967295.
○ metric-type metric-type: enter 1 for OSPFv3 external route type 1 OR 2 for OSPFv3 external route type 2.
○ route-map map-name: enter a name of a configured route map.
Applying cost for OSPFv3
Change in bandwidth directly affects the cost of OSPF routes.
● Explicitly specify the cost of sending a packet on an interface.
INTERFACE mode
ipv6 ospf interface-cost
○ interface-cost:The range is from 1 to 65535. Default cost is based on the bandwidth.
● Specify how the OSPF interface cost is calculated based on the reference bandwidth method. The cost of an interface is
calculated as Reference Bandwidth/Interface speed.
