User Manual

OSPF and OSPFv3
425
M6100, M5300, and M7100 Series Managed Switches
The default admin user name is admin and the default admin password is blank, that is,
do not enter a password.
6. Click the Login button.
The web management interface menu displays.
7. Select Routing > OSPFv3 > Advanced > OSPFv3 Configuration.
8. Enter the Router ID in 32-bit integer, dotted-decimal format that uniquely identifies the router
within the autonomous system (AS).
To change the router ID you must first disable OSPFv3. After you set the new router ID,
you must reenable OSPFv3 for the change to take effect. The default value is 0.0.0.0,
although this is not a valid router ID.
9. In the Admin Mode field, select Enable or Disable.
If you select Enable, OSPFv3 is activated for the switch. The default value is Enable. You
must configure a router ID before OSPFv3 can become operational. You do this on the IP
Configuration screen, or by issuing the CLI command config router id in IPv6 router
OSPF mode. For more information, see
Configure the Router IP on page 325.
Note: Once OSPFv3 is initialized on the router, it remains initialized until the
router is reset.
10. In the Exit Overflow Interval field, specify the number of seconds that, after entering
overflow state, the router must wait before attempting to leave overflow state.
Because OSPFv3 cannot originate nondefault external LSAs while in overflow state, this
allows the router to again originate nondefault AS-external-LSAs. If you enter an exit
overflow interval of 0, the router does not leave the overflow state until it is restarted. The
range is 0 to 2,147,483,647 seconds. The default is 0.
