5 OSPFv3 Configuration
About This Chapter
By building Open Shortest Path First Version 3 (OSPFv3) networks, you can enable OSPFv3
to discover and calculate routes in ASs. OSPFv3 is applicable to a large-scale network that
consists of hundreds of routers.
5.1 OSPFv3 Overview
OSPFv3 uses the same implementation mechanism as OSPFv2 but is not compatible with
OSPFv2.
5.2 OSPFv3 Features Supported by S6700
The S6700 supports various OSPFv3 features, including multi-process.
5.3 Configuring Basic OSPFv3 Functions
Before building OSPFv3 networks, you need to configure basic OSPFv3 functions.
5.4 Establishing or Maintaining OSPFv3 Neighbor Relationship
By establishing and maintaining OSPFv3 neighbor relationships or adjacencies, you can build
OSPFv3 networks.
5.5 Configuring OSPFv3 Areas
OSPFv3 supports stub areas and virtual links, the principle and applicable environment of which
are similar to those in OSPFv2.
5.6 Configuring OSPFv3 NSSA Areas
By configuring areas as NSSA areas, external routes can be imported, and a new type of LSA,
namely, Type 7 NSSA LSA is introduced.
5.7 Configuring OSPFv3 Route Attributes
By setting OSPFv3 route attributes, you can change OSPFv3 routing policies to meet the
requirements of complex networks.
5.8 Controlling OSPFv3 Routing Information
This section describes how to control OSPF routing information. Detailed operations include
configuring route aggregation, filtering the received routes, and importing external routes.
5.9 Optimizing an OSPFv3 Network
By configuring OSPFv3 functions in special network environments, you can adjust and optimize
the OSPFv3 network performance.
