Selection Criteria
Slot/Port - Select the interface for which data is to be displayed or configured.
Configurable Data
OSPFv3 Admin Mode* - You may select enable or disable from the pulldown menu. The default
value is 'disable.' You can configure OSPFv3 parameters without enabling OSPFv3 Admin Mode, but
they will have no effect until you enable Admin Mode. The following information will be 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.
!
Once OSPFv3 is initialized on the router, it will remain initialized until the router is reset.
OSPFv3 Area ID - Enter the 32 bit integer in dotted decimal format that uniquely identifies the
OSPFv3 area to which the selected router interface connects. If you assign an Area ID which does not
exist, the area will be created with default values.
Router Priority - Enter 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
Retransmit Interval - Enter 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.
