Layer 3
Overview
The OcNOS Layer 3 Guide provides a comprehensive reference to the routing and forwarding capabilities supported in OcNOS. It consolidates all Layer-3 protocols and features into a single resource, covering IPv4 and IPv6 routing, static and dynamic protocols, routing policies, and advanced capabilities such as VRFs, high availability, and fast convergence.
Each feature includes conceptual overviews, configuration procedures, examples, and command references. This guide explains how Layer 3 functions operate within OcNOS and how to deploy them effectively in service provider and enterprise environments.
Target Users
This guide is intended for:
• Network architects designing scalable routing architectures.
• Operations teams deploying and maintaining IPv4 and IPv6 routing.
• Support engineers, troubleshooting protocol behavior, and forwarding issues.
• Technical evaluators assessing Layer 3 capabilities for deployment.
Key Capabilities
This guide enables users to:
• Configure and operate IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols (OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, static routing).
• Implement routing policies using route-maps, prefix lists, and redistribution controls.
• Deploy VRFs and multi-tenant segmentation architectures.
• Configure high-availability features such as graceful restart, ECMP, VRRP, and BFD.
• Validate and troubleshoot Layer 3 forwarding behavior.
• Reference CLI commands and examples for hands-on configuration.
