Interface Configuration
Use the OSPFv3 Interface Configuration page to create and configure OSPFv3 interfaces.
To display the Interface Configuration page, click Routing OSPFv3 Advanced Interface
Configuration.
To configure an interface for OSPFv3 routing:
1. Interface - The interface for which data is to be displayed or configured.
2. Use Area ID to 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.
3. Use Admin Mode* to select enable or disable. 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.
Note: *Once OSPFv3 is initialized on the router, it will remain initialized
until the router is reset.
