NOTE: The OSPFv2 network area command enables OSPF on multiple interfaces with the single
command. Use the OSPFv3 ipv6 ospf area command on each interface that runs OSPFv3.
All IPv6 addresses on an interface are included in the OSPFv3 process that is created on the interface.
Enable OSPFv3 for IPv6 by specifying an OSPF process ID and an area in INTERFACE mode. If you have
not created an OSPFv3 process, it is created automatically. All IPv6 addresses configured on the interface
are included in the specified OSPF process.
NOTE: IPv6 and OSPFv3 do not support Multi-Process OSPF. You can only enable a single OSPFv3
process.
Set the time interval between when the switch receives a topology change and starts a shortest path first
(SPF) calculation.

Enabling IPv6 Unicast Routing
To enable IPv6 unicast routing, use the following command.
Enable IPv6 unicast routing globally.
CONFIGURATION mode
ipv6 unicast routing
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.
