Note: Once OSPFv3 is initialized on the router, it will remain initialized until
the router is reset.
5. Configure the Router Priority by entering the OSPFv3 priority for the selected interface.
The priority of an interface is specified as an integer from 0 to 255. The default is 1, which is
the highest router priority. A value of 0 indicates that the router is not eligible to become the
designated router on this network.
6. Configure the Retransmit Interval by entering the OSPFv3 retransmit interval for the
specified interface. This is the number of seconds between link-state advertisements for
adjacencies belonging to this router interface. This value is also used when retransmitting
database descriptions and link-state request packets. Valid values range from 0 to 3600
seconds (1 hour). The default is 5 seconds.
7. Configure the Hello Interval by entering the OSPFv3 hello interval for the specified interface
in seconds. This parameter must be the same for all routers attached to a network. Value
values range from 1 to 65,535. The default is 10 seconds.
8. Enter the OSPFv3 Dead Interval for the specified interface in seconds. This specifies how
long a router will wait to see a neighbor router’s Hello packets before declaring that the
router is down. This parameter must be the same for all routers attached to a network. This
value should be a multiple of the Hello Interval (for example, 4). Valid values range from 1 to
65,535. The default is 40 seconds.
9. In the Iftransit Delay Interval field, enter the OSPFv3 Transit Delay for the specified
interface. This specifies the estimated number of seconds it takes to transmit a link state
update packet over the selected interface. Valid values range from 1 to 3600 seconds (1
hour). The default value is 1 second.
10. Configure MTU Ignore by selecting Enable or Disable from the list. MTU Ignore disables
OSPF MTU mismatch detection on receiving database description packets. The default
value is Disable (MTU mismatch detection is enabled).
11. Configure Passive Mode by selecting Enable or Disable from the list. Make an interface
passive to prevent OSPF from forming an adjacency on an interface. OSPF advertises
networks attached to passive interfaces as stub networks. Interfaces are not passive by
default, meaning that the Passive Mode default is Disable.
12. Set the OSPFv3 Network Type on the interface by selecting either Broadcast or
Point-to-Point mode from the list. OSPFv3 only selects a designated router and originates
network LSAs for broadcast networks. No more than two OSPFv3 routers can be present on
a point-to-point link. The default network type for Ethernet interfaces is Broadcast.
13. In the Metric Cost field, enter the value for the cost type of service (TOS). OSPF uses this
value in computing shortest paths. The range is from 1 to 65,535. The default is 1. Metric
Cost is only configurable if OSPFv3 is initialized on the interface.
14. Click Apply to send the updated configuration to the switch. Configuration changes take
effect immediately.
15. Click Cancel to cancel the configuration on the screen and reset the data on the screen to
the latest value of the switch.
Table 103, OSPF Interface Configuration describes the non-configurable data that is
displayed.
