OSPFv3 Interface Configuration Use the OSPFv3 Interface Configuration page to create and configure OSPFv3 interfaces. This page has been updated to include the Passive Mode field. To display the page, click IPv6 →OSPFv3 →Interface Configuration in the tree view. Figure 10-22. OSPFv3 Interface Configuration The OSPFv3 Interface Configuration page contains the following fields: • Interface - Select the interface for which data is to be displayed or configured. • IPv6 Address - The IPv6 address of the interface. • OSPFv3 Admin Mode - You may select Enable or Disable from the drop-down menu. The default value is Disable. You can configure OSPFv3 parameters without enabling OSPFv3 Admin Mode, but they have no effect until you enable Admin Mode. The following information is displayed only if the Admin Mode is enabled: State, Designated Router, Backup Designated Router, Number of Link Events, LSA Ack Interval, and Metric Cost. For OSPFv3 to be fully functional, the interface must have a valid IPv6 Prefix/Prefix Length. This can be done through the CLI using the ipv6 address command in the interface configuration mode. NOTE: Once OSPFv3 is initialized on the router, it remains initialized until the router is reset. Configuring IPv6 649
