Enabling OSPFv3
Configuration prerequisites
Before you enable OSPFv3, complete the following tasks:
• Make neighboring nodes accessible with each other at the network layer.
• Enable IPv6 packet forwarding.
Enabling OSPFv3
To enable an OSPFv3 process on a router, you must enable the OSPFv3 process globally, assign the
OSPFv3 process a router ID, and enable the OSPFv3 process on related interfaces.
A router ID uniquely identifies a router within an AS. You must specify a unique router ID for each OSPFv3
router within the AS to ensure proper operation. If a router runs multiple OSPFv3 processes, specify a
unique router ID for each process.
An OSPFv3 process ID has only local significance. Process 1 on a router can exchange packets with
process 2 on another router.
To enable OSPFv3:

Not enabled by default.
Configuring OSPFv3 area parameters
The stub area and virtual link features of OSPFv3 are the same as OSPFv2.
Splitting an OSPFv3 AS into multiple areas reduces the number of LSAs and extends OSPFv3
applications. For those non-backbone areas residing on the AS boundary, configure them as stub areas
to further reduce the size of routing tables and the number of LSAs.
Non-backbone areas exchange routing information through the backbone area. The backbone and
non-backbone areas (including the backbone itself) must be contiguous. In practice, necessary physical
links might not be available for this connectivity. You can configure virtual links to address this issue.
