ProSafe M5300 Switch OSPFv3 OSPFv3 is the Open Shortest Path First routing protocol for IPv6. It is similar to OSPFv2 in its concept of a link state database, intra/inter area, and AS external routes and virtual links. It differs from its IPv4 counterpoint in a number of respects, including the following: peering is done via link-local addresses; the protocol is link-based rather than network-based; and addressing semantics have been moved to leaf LSAs, which eventually allow its use for both IPv4 and IPv6. Point-to-point links are also supported in order to enable operation over tunnels. It is possible to enable OSPF and OSPFv3 at the same time. OSPF works with IPv4 and OSPFv3 works with IPv6. From the OSPF link, you can access the following pages: • Basic on page 257 • Advanced on page 258 Basic From the Basic link, you can access the following pages: • OSPFv3 Configuration on page 257 OSPFv3 Configuration Use the OSPFv3 Configuration page to activate and configure OSPFv3 for a switch. To display the OSPFv3 Configuration page, click Routing OSPFv3 Basic OSPFv3 Configuration. To configure global OSPFv3 settings: 1. Use Admin Mode* to select enable or disable. If you select enable, OSPFv3 will be activated for the switch. The default value is disable. You must configure a Router ID before OSPFv3 can become operational. This can also be done by issuing the CLI command router-id, in the IPv6 router OSPF mode. 2. Use Router ID to specify the 32-bit integer in dotted decimal format that uniquely identifies the router within the autonomous system (AS). If you want to change the Router ID you must first disable OSPFv3. After you set the new Router ID, you must re-enable OSPFv3 to have the change take effect. The default value is 0.0.0.0, although this is not a valid Router ID. Routing 257
