Open Shortest Path First – Version 3

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a link-state routing protocol that operates within a single autonomous system. OSPF version 3 is defined by RFC 5340.

OSPFv3 Introduction

OSPFv3 is based on OSPFv2 and includes enhancements that utilize IPv6 features. However, OSPFv3 is configured and operates independently of any implementation of OSPFv2 on the switch. OSPFv2 features that OSPFv3 implements include:
  • Packet types
  • Neighbor discovery and adjacency formation mechanisms
  • LSA aging and flooding
  • SPF calculations
  • DR election procedure
  • Multiple area support
  • Router-ID (32 bits)
The following list describes the OSPFv3 differences and enhancements from OSPFv2:
  • IPv6 128-bit addresses
  • Use of link-local addresses
  • OSPFv3 runs over links instead of subnets
  • Support flood pacing
Arista switches support the following OSPFv3 functions:
  • A single OSPFv3 instance for each VRF
  • Intra- and inter-area routing
  • Type 1 and 2 external routing
  • Broadcast and P2P interfaces
  • Stub areas
  • Redistribution of static and connected routes into OSPFv3

OSPFv3 Conceptual Overview

Storing Link States

OSPFv3 is a dynamic, link-state routing protocol, where links represent routable paths. Dynamic routing protocols calculate the most efficient path between locations based on bandwidth and device status.

A Link State Advertisement (LSA) is an OSPFv3 packet that communicates a router's topology to other routers. The Link State DataBase (LSDB) stores an area’s topology database and is composed of LSAs received from other routers. Routers update the LSDB by storing LSAs from other routers.

Topology

An Autonomous System (AS) is the IP domain within which a dynamic protocol controls the routing of traffic. In OSPFv3, an AS is composed of areas, which define the LSDB computation boundaries. All routers in an area store identical LSDBs. Routers in different areas exchange updates without storing the entire database, reducing information maintenance on large, dynamic networks.

An AS shares internal routing information from its areas and external routing information from other processes to inform routers outside the AS about routes the network can access. Routers that advertise routes on other ASs commit to carry data to the IP space on the route.

OSPFv3 defines these routers:
  • Internal Router (IR): a router whose interfaces are contained in a single area. All IRs in an area maintain identical LSDBs.
  • Area Border Router (ABR): a router that has interfaces in multiple areas. ABRs maintain one LSDB for each connected area.
  • Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR): a gateway router connecting the OSPFv3 domain to external routes, including static routes and routes from other autonomous systems.

OSPFv3 Router Types displays the OSPFv3 router types.

Figure 1. OSPFv3 Router Types

OSPFv3 areas are assigned a number between 0 and 4,294,967,295. Area numbers are often expressed in dotted decimal notation, similar to IP addresses.

Each AS has a backbone area, designated as area 0, that connects to all other areas. The backbone receives routing information from all areas, then distributes it to the other areas as required.

OSPFv3 area types include:
  • Normal area accepts intra-area, inter-area, and external routes. The backbone is a normal area.
  • Stub area does not receive router advertisements external to the AS. Stub area routing is based on a default route.

Link Updates

Routers periodically send hello packets to advertise status and establish neighbors. A routers hello packet includes IP addresses of other routers from which it received a hello packet within the time specified by the router dead interval. Routers become neighbors when they detect each other in their hello packets if they:
  • share a common network segment.
  • are in the same area.
  • have the same hello interval, dead interval, and authentication parameters.

Neighbors form adjacencies to exchange LSDB information. A neighbor group uses hello packets to elect a Designated Router (DR) and Backup Designated Router (BDR). The DR and BDR become adjacent to all other neighbors, including each other. Only adjacent neighbors share database information.

OSPFv3 Neighbors illustrates OSPFv3 neighbors.

Figure 2. OSPFv3 Neighbors


The DR is the central contact for database exchanges. Switches send database information to their DR, which relays the information to the other neighbors. All routers in an area maintain identical LSDBs. Switches also send database information to their BDR, which stores this data without distributing it. If the DR fails, the BDR distributes LSDB information to its neighbors.

OSPFv3 routers distribute LSAs by sending them on all of their active interfaces. The router does not send hello packets from passive interfaces preventing adjacencies. The router does not process any OSPFv2 packets received on a passive interface.

When a routers LSDB is changed by an LSA, it sends the changes to the BDR and DR for distribution to the other neighbors. Routing information is updated only when the topology changes.

Routing devices use Dijkstras algorithm to calculate the shortest path to all known destinations, based on cumulative route cost. The cost of an interface indicates the transmission overhead and is usually inversely proportional to its bandwidth.

OSPFv3 Security

The OSPFv3 protocol relies on the IPsec Authentication Header (AH) and Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) header to provide data integrity, authentication and confidentiality. Transport mode provides IPsec to OSPFv3 packets.

The IPsec SA has Security Policy Index (SPI), HMAC algorithm, and a secret key as parameters. These parameters are used to compute Integrity Check Value (ICV), that is used to authenticate peers. When authentication is enabled, all corresponding peers must use same SA parameters to clear OSPFv3 ICV verification. SA can be configured at both area and interface levels.

Note: On the same area or interface, eos allows security configuration with either AH or ESP but not both. We can have one area or interface configured with AH and another with ESP.

OSPFv3 Authentication

While sending OSPFv3 packets, the HMAC-MD5 or SHA algorithm hash is inserted in the IPsec header and the packet is sent over the wire for peer authentication.

While receiving OSPFv3 packets, the computed hash is verified with the one present in the IPsec header. If it fails, OSPFv3 packets are discarded.

OSPFv3 Encryption

ESP provides confidentiality to OSPFv3 packets. When confidentiality is enabled, ESP encrypts the sent data and decrypts the received data. OSPFv3 packets that are not encapsulated with security payload are discarded.

OSPFv3 encryption uses algorithms of Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). 3DES uses a 192 bit key, whereas the AES key length varies by 128, 192 and 256 bits.

Flood Pacing

OSPFv3 flood pacing allows configuring the minimum interval between the transmission of consecutive Link State (LS) update packets in a network. Flood pacing provides the following benefits:
  • Prevents the rapid drain of flood queue by sending consecutive LSU packets with a delay.
  • Helps mitigate high CPU or socket buffer utilization issues that occur when a switch instantly floods a large number of LSAs.
  • When LSDB is updated frequently, an incremented flood pacing interval scales down LSA flooding.
    Note: A high flood pacing interval may lead to convergence delays in large OSPF LSDBs.

OSPFv3 BFD Sessions for Adjacencies in any State

  • BFD sessions are only established for OSPFv3 adjacencies that are in the FULL state. In a LAN environment this results in BFD sessions not being established for OSPFv3 adjacencies with DR Other neighbors.
  • This feature provides configuration that enables the establishment of BFD sessions for OSPFv3 adjacencies that are in any state. This results in the BFD sessions being established for OSPFv3 adjacencies with DR Other neighbors.

Support for OSPFv3 dn-bit-ignore

The OSPFv3 dn-bit-ignore command allows enabling or disabling the inclusion of LSAs having “Down” (DN) bit set in SPF calculations. The DN Bit is a loop prevention mechanism that implements when using OSPF as a CE - PE IGP protocol.

The DN-bit usage in OSPFv3 is explained in RFC6565. With Release eos-4.25.0F, OSPFv3 honors the DN-bit in type-3, type-5, or type-7 LSAs in non-default VRFs. LSAs are not used in SPF calculation, and are not installed in the routing table. Using the dn-bit-ignore command changes this behavior. It is recommended to understand the entire topology before configuring the dn-bit-ignore command as it may lead to forwarding loops.

Configuring OSPFv3

Configuring an OSPFv3 Instance

Entering OSPFv3 Configuration Mode

OSPFv3 configuration commands apply to the specified OSPFv3 instance. To perform OSPFv3 configuration commands, the switch must be in router-OSPFv3 configuration mode. The ipv6 router ospf command places the switch in router-OSPFv3 configuration mode, creating an OSPFv3 instance if OSPFv3 was not previously instantiated on the switch. If no VRF is specified, the OSPFv3 instance is in the default VRF. To instantiate or configure OSPFv3 on a non-default VRF, specify that VRF when using the ipv6 router ospf command.

The process ID identifies the OSPFv3 instance and is local to the router. Neighbor OSPFv3 routers can have different process IDs. OSPFv3 instances configured in different VRFs on the switch must have different process IDs.

The switch supports one OSPFv3 instance for each VRF. When an OSPFv3 instance already exists, the ipv6 router ospf command must specify its process ID (and VRF, if it is not configured in the default VRF). Attempts to define additional instances in the same VRF will generate errors. The show ipv6 ospf command displays information about OSPFv3 instances, including their process IDs.

Example

This command places the switch in router-OSPFv3 configuration mode for the default VRF. If OSPFv3 was not previously instantiated in the default VRF, the command creates an OSPFv3 instance in the default VRF with a process ID of 9.
switch(config)# ipv6 router ospf 9
switch(config-router-ospf3)# show active
ipv6 router ospf 9
switch(config-router-ospf3)#

Defining the Router ID

The router ID is a 32-bit number assigned to a router running OSPFv3. This number uniquely labels the router within an Autonomous System. Status commands identify the switch through the router ID. When configuring OSPFv3 instances in multiple VRFs, each should have a different router ID.

Note: A router ID is required to run OSPF, and Arista recommends setting the router ID manually for the following reasons:
  1. If there are no IPv4 addresses configured on the switch, a manually configured router ID is required.
  2. The router ID also does not change if the interface status or IP address changes, which can cause confusion if the ID has been selected automatically.
The switch sets the router ID to the first available alternative in the following list:
  1. The router-id command.
  2. The loopback IPv6 address, if a loopback interface is active on the switch.
  3. The highest IPv6 address on the router.
    Note: When configuring VXLAN on an MLAG, always manually configure the OSPFv3 router ID to prevent the switch from using the common VTEP IP address as the router ID.

The router-id (OSPFv3) command configures the router ID for an OSPFv3 instance.

Example

This command assigns 15.1.1.1 as the OSPFv3 router ID.
switch(config-router-ospf3)# router-id 15.21.4.9
switch(config-router-ospf3)# show active
ipv6 router ospf 9
   router-id 15.21.4.9
switch(config-router-ospf3)#

Global OSPFv3 Parameters

These router-OSPFv3 configuration mode commands define OSPFv3 behavior for the OSPFv3 instance under which they are used.

Logging Adjacency Changes

The log-adjacency-changes (OSPFv3) command configures the switch to log OSPFv3 link-state changes and transitions of OSPFv3 neighbors into the up or down state.

Examples
  • This command configures the switch to log transitions of OSPFv3 neighbors into the up or down state.
    switch(config-router-ospf3)# log-adjacency-changes
    switch(config-router-ospf3)#
  • This command configures the switch to log all OSPFv3 link-state changes.
    switch(config-router-ospf3)# log-adjacency-changes detail
    switch(config-router-ospf3)#
Intra-Area Distance

The distance ospf intra-area (OSPFv3) command configures the administrative distance for routes contained in a single OSPFv3 area. Administrative distances compare dynamic routes configured by different protocols. The default administrative distance for intra-area routes is 10.

Example

This command configures an administrative distance of 90 for OSPFv3 intra-area routes.
switch(config-router-ospf3)# distance ospf intra-area 90
switch(config-router-ospf3)# show active
ipv6 router ospf 9
   distance ospf intra-area 90
switch(config-router-ospf3)#
Passive interfaces

The passive-interface (OSPFv3) command prevents the transmission of hello packets on the specified interface. Passive interfaces drop all adjacencies and do not form new adjacencies. Although passive interfaces do not send or receive LSAs, other interfaces may generate LSAs for the network segment. The router does not send OSPFv3 packets from a passive interface or process OSPFv3 packets received on a passive interface. The router advertises the passive interface in the router LSA.

The no passive-interface command re-enables OSPFv3 processing on the specified interface.

Examples
  • This command configures vlan 200 as a passive interface.
    switch(config-router-ospf3)# passive-interface vlan 200
    switch(config-router-ospf3)# show active
    ipv6 router ospf 9
       passive-interface Vlan200
    switch(config-router-ospf3)#
  • This command configures vlan 200 as an active interface.
    switch(config-router-ospf3)# no passive-interface vlan 200
    switch(config-router-ospf3)# show active
    ipv6 router ospf 9
    switch(config-router-ospf3)#
Redistributing Connected Routes

Redistributing connected routes causes the OSPFv3 instance to advertise all connected routes on the switch as external OSPFv3 routes. Connected routes are routes that are established when IPv6 is enabled on an interface.

Example

The redistribute (OSPFv3) connected command converts connected routes to OSPFv3 external routes.
switch(config-router-ospf3)# redistribute connected
switch(config-router-ospf3)# show active
ipv6 router ospf 9
   redistribute connected
switch(config-router-ospf3)#
Redistributing Static Routes

Redistributing static routes causes the OSPFv3 instance to advertise all static routes on the switch as external OSPFv3 routes. The switch does not support redistributing individual static routes.

Example

The redistribute (OSPFv3) static command converts static routes to OSPFv3 external routes.
switch(config-router-ospf3)# redistribute static
switch(config-router-ospf3)# show active
ipv6 router ospf 9
   redistribute static
switch(config-router-ospf3)#

Configuring OSPFv3 Areas

OSPFv3 areas are configured through area commands. The switch must be in router-OSPFv3 configuration mode, as described in Entering OSPFv3 Configuration Mode, to run area commands.

Areas are assigned a 32-bit number that is expressed in decimal or dotted-decimal notation. When an OSPFv3 instance configuration contains multiple areas, the switch only configures areas associated with its interfaces.

Configuring the Area Type

The no area (OSPFv3) command specifies the area type. The switch supports three area types:
  • Normal area: Area that accepts intra-area, inter-area, and external routes. The backbone area (area 0) is a normal area.
  • Stub area: Area where external routes are not advertised. External routes are reached through a default summary route (0.0.0.0) inserted into stub areas. Networks with no external routes do not require stub areas.

The default area type is normal.

Example

These commands configures area 200 as a NSSA area and 300 as a stub area.
switch(config)# ipv6 router ospf 9
switch(config-router-ospf3)# area 200 nssa
switch(config-router-ospf3)# area 300 stub
switch(config-router-ospf3)# show active
ipv6 router ospf 9
   area 0.0.0.200
   area 0.0.1.44 stub
switch(config-router-ospf3)#

Configuring Area Parameters

These router-OSPFv3 configuration mode commands define OSPFv3 behavior in a specified area.

Default Summary Route Cost

The area default-cost (OSPFv3) command specifies the cost of the default summary route that ABRs send into a stub area or NSSA. Summary routes, also called inter-area routes, originate in areas different than their destination. When the area default-cost command is not configured for an area, the default-cost of that area is set to 10.

Example

This command configures a cost of 25 for the default summary route in area 0.0.1.194 (450).
switch(config-router-ospf3)# area 450 default-cost 25
switch(config-router-ospf3)# show active
ipv6 router ospf 9
   area 0.0.1.194 default-cost 25
Area Stub

The area stub (OSPFv3) command configures the area type of an OSPFv3 area. All routers in an AS must specify the same area type for identically numbered areas.

Stub areas are areas in which external routes are not advertised. To reach these external routes, the stub area uses a default summary route (0.0.0.0). Networks without external routes do not require stub areas.

Areas are normal by default; area type configuration is required only for stub NSSA areas. Area 0 is always a normal area and cannot be configured through this command.

Examples
  • This command configures area 45 as a stub area.
    switch(config)# ipv6 router ospf 3
    switch(config-router-ospf3)# area 45 stub
    switch(config-router-ospf3)#
  • This command configures area 10.92.148.17 as a stub area.
    switch(config-router-ospf3)# area 10.92.148.17 stub
    switch(config-router-ospf3)#
Area Range

The area range (OSPFv3) command is used by OSPFv3 Area Border Routers (ABRs) to consolidate or summarize routes, to configure a cost setting for those routes, and to suppress summary route advertisements.

By default, an ABR creates a summary LSA for each route in an area and advertises that LSA to adjacent areas. The area range (OSPFv3) command aggregates routing information on area boundaries, allowing the ABR to use one summary LSA to advertise multiple routes.

Examples
  • These commands consolidate and summarize routes at an area boundary 1.
    switch(config)# ipv6 router ospf 1
    switch(config-router-ospf3)# area 1 range 2001:0DB8:0:1::/64
    switch(config-router-ospf3)#
  • These commands change the address range status to DoNotAdvertise. Neither one of the individual intra-area routes falling under range or the ranged prefix is advertised as summary LSA.
    switch(config)# ipv6 router ospf 1
    switch(config-router-ospf3)# area 1 range 2001:0DB8:0:1::/64 not-advertise
    switch(config-router-ospf3)#

Configuring interfaces for OSPFv3

OSPFv3 interface configuration commands enable OSPFv3 on an interface, assign the interface to an area, and specify transmission parameters for routed ports and SVIs that handle OSPFv3 packets.

Assigning an interface to an Area

The ipv6 ospf area command enables OSPFv3 on the configuration mode interface and associates the specified area to the interface. Each routed interface can be associated with one OSPFv3 area; subsequent ipv6 ospf area commands that designate a different area on an interface replace any existing command for the interface.

Example

These commands enable OSPFv3 instance 9 on interface vlan 200 and associate area 0 to the interface.
switch(config)# interface vlan 200
switch(config-if-Vl200)# ipv6 ospf 9 area 0
switch(config-if-Vl200)# show active
interface Vlan200
   ipv6 ospf 9 area 0.0.0.0
switch(config-if-Vl200)#

Configuring Intervals

Interval configuration commands determine OSPFv3 packet transmission characteristics for a specified VLAN interface. Interval configuration commands are entered in vlan-interface configuration mode.

Hello Interval

The hello interval specifies the period between consecutive hello packet transmissions from an interface. Each OSPFv3 neighbor should specify the same hello interval, which should not be longer than any neighbors dead interval.

The ospfv3 hello-interval command configures the hello interval for the configuration mode interface. The default is 10 seconds.

Example

These commands configure a hello interval of 45 seconds for vlan 200.
switch(config)# interface vlan 200
switch(config-if-Vl200)# ospfv3 hello-interval 45
switch(config-if-Vl200)# show active
interface Vlan200
   ospfv3 hello-interval 45
switch(config-if-Vl200)#
Dead Interval

The dead interval specifies the period that an interface waits for an OSPFv3 packet from a neighbor before it disables the adjacency under the assumption that the neighbor is down. The dead interval should be configured identically on all OSPFv3 neighbors and be longer than the hello interval of any neighbor.

The ospfv3 dead-interval command configures the dead interval for the configuration mode interface. The default is 40 seconds.

Example

This command configures a dead interval of 75 seconds for vlan 200.
switch(config)# interface vlan 200
switch(config-if-Vl200)# ospfv3 dead-interval 75
switch(config-if-Vl200)# show active
interface Vlan200
   ospfv3 dead-interval 75
switch(config-if-Vl200)#
Retransmission Interval

Routers that send OSPFv3 advertisements to an adjacent router expect to receive an acknowledgment from that neighbor. Routers that do not receive an acknowledgment will retransmit the advertisement. The retransmission interval specifies the period between retransmissions.

The ospfv3 ipv6 retransmit-interval command configures the LSA retransmission interval for the configuration mode interface. The default retransmission interval is 5 seconds.

Example

This command configures a retransmission interval of 25 seconds for vlan 200.
switch(config)# interface vlan 200
switch(config-if-Vl200)# ospfv3 ipv6 retransmit-interval 25
switch(config-if-Vl200)# show active
interface Vlan200
   ospfv3 ipv6 retransmit-interval 25
switch(config-if-Vl200)#
Transmission Delay

The transmission delay is an estimate of the time that an interface requires to transmit a link-state update packet. OSPFv3 adds this delay to the age of outbound packets to more accurately reflect the age of the LSA when received by a neighbor.

The ospfv3 transmit-delay command configures the transmission delay for the configuration mode interface. The default transmission delay is one second.

Example

his command configures a transmission delay of 10 seconds for vlan 200.
switch(config)# interface vlan 200
switch(config-if-Vl200)# ospfv3 transmit-delay 10
switch(config-if-Vl200)# show active
interface Vlan200
   ospfv3 transmit-delay 10
switch(config-if-Vl200)#

Configuring interface Parameters

interface Cost

The OSPFv3 interface cost reflects the overhead of sending packets across the interface. The cost is typically assigned to be inversely proportional to the bandwidth of the interface. The ospfv3 cost command configures the OSPFv3 cost for the configuration mode interface. The default cost is 10.

Example

This command configures a cost of 50 for vlan 200.
switch(config)# interface vlan 200
switch(config-if-Vl200)# ospfv3 cost 50
switch(config-if-Vl200)# show active
interface Vlan200
   ospfv3 cost 50
switch(config-if-Vl200)#
Router Priority

Router priority determines preference during Designated Router (DR) and Backup Designated Router (BDR) elections. Routers with higher priority numbers have preference over other routers. Routers with a priority of zero cannot be elected as a DR or BDR.

The ospfv3 priority command configures router priority for the configuration mode interface. The default priority is 1.

Example

This command configures a router priority of 128 for vlan 200.
switch(config)# interface vlan 200
switch(config-if-Vl200)# ospfv3 priority 128
switch(config-if-Vl200)# show active
interface Vlan200
   ospfv3 priority 128
switch(config-if-Vl200)#

Enabling OSPFv3

IP Routing

OSPFv3 requires that IPv6 unicast routing is enabled on the switch. When IP routing is not enabled, entering OSPFv3 configuration mode generates a message.

Examples
  • This message is displayed if, when entering router-OSPFv3 configuration mode, IPv6 unicast routing is not enabled.
    switch(config)# ipv6 router ospf 9
    ! IPv6 routing not enabled
    switch(config-router-ospf3)#
  • This command enables IP routing on the switch.
    switch(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing

Disabling OSPFv3

The shutdown (OSPFv3) disables OSPFv3 operations on the switch without disrupting the OSPFv3 configuration. To disable OSPFv3 on an interface, remove the ipv6 ospf area statement for the corresponding interface.

The no shutdown command resumes OSPFv3 activity.

Examples
  • This command disables OSPFv3 activity on the switch.
    switch(config)# ipv6 router ospf 9
    switch(config-router-ospf3)# shutdown
    switch(config-router-ospf3)# show active
    ipv6 router ospf 9
       shutdown
    switch(config-router-ospf3)#
  • This command resumes OSPFv3 activity on the switch.
    switch(config-router-ospf3)# no shutdown
    switch(config-router-ospf3)# show active
    ipv6 router ospf 9
    switch(config-router-ospf3)#

Configuring OSPFv3 Security

You can configure OSPFv3 security for either an area or an interface, or both, using either an Authentication Header (AH) or an Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP).

When OSPFv3 security is configured on an area, the configured settings apply to all interfaces in that area. interface-specific configuration overrides configuration on the area to which the interface belongs.

Flood pacing can be configured for global OSPFv3 instances and address families. The timers pacing flood command configures OSPFv3 flood pacing.

Examples
  • This command configures OSPFv3 flood pacing timer to 50 ms in the global OSPFv3 instance.
    switch(config)# ipv6 router ospf 9
    switch(config-router-ospf3)# timers pacing flood 50

Configurating OSPv3 dn-bit-ignore

OSPFv3

Use the command dn-bit-ignore to include type-3/5/7 LSAs having their DN-bit set in the SPF calculation.

Use the commands dn-bit-ignore or default dn-bit-ignore to revert the behavior back to default. This command is available in ipv6 router ospf vrf configuration mode and the router ospfv3 vrf configuration mode. Note that this command is not available in the default VRF, and that both configuration styles are captured below.

router ospfv3 Configuration Style

The dn-bit-ignore command is available under the router ospfv3 vrf configuration mode. This disables the dn-bit check for Type-3/5/7 LSAs in non-default VRFs.
switch(config)# router ospfv3 vrf red
switch(config-router-ospfv3-vrf-red)# dn-bit-ignore

ipv6 router ospf Configuration Style

The dn-bit-ignore command is also available under the ipv6 router ospf vrf configuration mode. This disables the dn-bit check for Type-3/5/7 LSAs in non-default VRFs.
switch(config)# ipv6 router ospf 1 vrf red
switch(config-router-ospfv3-vrf-red)# dn-bit-ignore

Displaying OSPFv3 Status

This section describes OSPFv3 show commands that display OSPFv3 status. General switch methods that provide OSPFv3 information include pinging routes, viewing route status (show ip route command), and viewing the configuration (show running-config command).

OSPFv3 Summary

The show ipv6 ospf command displays general OSPFv3 configuration information, operational statistics and status for the OSPFv3 instance, followed by a brief description of the areas configured on the switch.

Example

This command displays OSPFv3 routing process information.
switch(config-router-ospf3)#show ipv6 ospf
Routing Process "ospfv3 1" with ID 1.1.1.1 and Instance 0 VRF default
  It is not an autonomous system boundary router and is not an area border router
  Minimum LSA arrival interval 1000 msecs

Viewing the OSPFv3 Database

The show ipv6 ospf database <link state list> command displays the LSAs in the LSDB for the specified area. If no area is listed, the command displays the contents of the database for each area on the switch. The database command provides options to display subsets of the LSDB database, a summary of database contents, and the link states that comprise the database.

Example

This command displays the OSPFv3 database of Link State Advertisements (LSAs).

ipv6 router ospf

The ipv6 router ospf command places the switch in router-OSPFv3 configuration mode and creates and OSPFv3 instance if one does not already exist. Note that each OSPFv3 instance on the switch must have a unique process ID. A router ID for the new instance will be created if one does not already exist.

The show ipv6 ospf command displays the router ID of each OSPFv3 instance configured on the switch.

The no ipv6 router ospf and default ipv6 router ospf commands delete the OSPFv3 instance.

Refer to the Router-OSPFv3 Configuration Mode command for a list of commands available in router-OSPFv3 configuration mode.

log-adjacency-changes (OSPFv3)

The log-adjacency-changes command enables syslog messages to be sent when it detects OSPFv3 link state changes or when it detects that a neighbor has gone up or down. Log message sending is enabled by default.

The default log-adjacency-changes command restores the default state by removing the log-adjacency-changes statement from the running-config.

The default option (sending a message only when a neighbor goes up or down) is active when the running-config does not contain any form of the command. Entering the command in any form replaces the previous command state in the running-config.

The no log-adjacency-changes disables link state change Syslog reporting.

The default log-adjacency-changes command restores the default state by removing the log-adjacency-changes detail or no log-adjacency-changes statement from the running-config.

timers spf delay initial (OSPFv3)

The purpose of SPF throttling is to delay Shortest Path First (SPF) calculations when network topology is changing rapidly. The timers spf delay initial command controls the intervals of SPF calculations in a switch. The command sets three values:
  • Initial delay: Initial wait by a switch to calculate SPF after a topology change in a network that has been stable throughout the hold interval. Because a topology change often requires several link state updates to be sent, the initial delay is configured to allow the network to settle before the switch calculates SPF. If an additional topology change occurs during the initial interval, the SPF calculation still takes place after the initial delay period has expired and no other change is made to the throttle timers.
  • Hold interval: This is an additional wait timer that reduces the frequency of SPF calculations during periods of network instability. If a network change occurs during the hold period, an SPF calculation is scheduled to occur when the hold interval expires. Subsequent hold intervals are doubled if further topology changes occur during a hold interval until either the hold interval reaches its configured maximum or no topology change occurs during the interval. If the next topology change occurs after the hold interval expires, the hold interval is reset to its configured value and the SPF calculation is scheduled to take place after the initial delay.
  • Maximum interval: The maximum wait time of a switch after a topology change before performing an SPF calculation.

The no timers spf delay initial and default timers spf delay initial commands restore the default OSPFv3 SPF calculation intervals by removing the timers spf delay initial command from running-config.

command Mode

Parameters
  • initial_delay Initial delay between a topology change and SPF calculation. Value ranges from 0 to 65535000 (ms). The default value is 0 ms.
  • hold_interval Additional wait time after SPF calculation to allow the network to settle. If a topology change occurs during the hold interval, another SPF calculation is scheduled to occur after the hold interval expires. The next hold interval is doubled if topology changes occur during the hold interval. If doubling exceeds the maximum value, the maximum value is used instead. Value ranges from 0 to 65535000 (ms). The default value is 5000 ms.
  • max_interval The maximum hold interval before a switch calculates SPF. Value ranges from 0 to 65535000 (ms). The default value is 5000 ms.

Example

These commands set the SPF timers on the switch.

switch(config)#router ospfv3
switch(config-router-ospfv3)#timers spf delay initial 5 100 20000
