OcNOS-SP : Layer 3 Guide : Open Shortest Path First Command Reference : OSPFv3 Commands
OSPFv3 Commands
This chapter provides an alphabetized reference for each of the OSPFv3 commands. It includes the following commands:
abr-type
Use this command to set an OSPFv3 Area Border Router (ABR) type.
Use the no parameter with this command to revert the ABR type to the default setting (cisco).
Specifying the ABR type allows better functioning in a multi-vendor environment. The ABR types are:
• Cisco (RFC 3509): A router is considered an ABR if it has more than one area actively attached and one of them is the backbone area.
• IBM (RFC 3509): A router is considered an ABR if it has more than one area actively attached and the backbone area is configured. In this case the configured backbone need not be actively connected.
• Standard (RFC 2328): A router is considered an ABR if it has more than one area actively attached to it.
Command Syntax
abr-type (cisco|ibm|standard)
no abr-type
Parameters
cisco
Specify an alternative ABR using Cisco implementation. This is the default ABR type.
ibm
Specify an alternative ABR using IBM implementation.
standard
Specify a standard ABR.
Default
By default, ABR type is Cisco
Command Mode
Router mode
Applicability
This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.
Examples
#configure terminal
(config)#router ipv6 ospf
(config-router)#abr-type standard
area default-cost
Use this command to specify the cost for default summary route sent into a stub or a NSSA area. If an area is configured as a stub, the OSPFv3 router originates one type-3 inter-area-prefix-LSA into the stub area. This command changes the metric for this LSA.
Use the no parameter with this command to remove the assigned default cost.
Command Syntax
area (A.B.C.D|<0-4294967295>) default-cost (<0-16777215>)
no area (A.B.C.D|<0-4294967295>) default-cost
Parameters
A.B.C.D
OSPF Area ID in IPv4 address format.
<0-4294967295>
OSPF Area ID as a decimal value.
<0-16777215>
 
The advertised cost for the default summary route used for a stub or NSSA area.
Default
By default, advertised cost for the default summary route is 1.
Command Mode
Router mode
Applicability
This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.
Examples
#configure terminal
(config)#router ipv6 ospf
(config-router)#area 1 default-cost 10
area nssa
Use this command to set an area as a Not-So-Stubby-Area (NSSA). There are no external routes in an OSPF stub area, so you cannot redistribute from another protocol into a stub area. An NSSA allows external routes to be flooded within the area. These routes are then leaked into other areas. However, the external routes from other areas still do not enter the NSSA. You can configure an area to be a stub area or an NSSA, but not both.
This command simplifies administration when connecting a central site using OSPF to a remote site that is using a different routing protocol. You can extend OSPF to cover the remote connection by defining the area between the central router and the remote router as a NSSA.
Use the no form of this command to make an area a normal area.
Command Syntax
area (A.B.C.D|<0-4294967295>) nssa
area (A.B.C.D|<0-4294967295>) nssa {translator-role (candidate|always)|stability-interval <0-2147483647>|no-redistribution|default-information-originate (metric <0-16777214>|metric-type <1-2>|)|no-summary}
no area (A.B.C.D|<0-4294967295>) nssa
no area (A.B.C.D|<0-4294967295>) nssa {translator-role|stability-interval|no-redistribution|default-information-originate|no-summary}
Parameters
A.B.C.D
OSPF Area ID in IPv4 address format.

always
Always translate NSSA-LSA to Type-5 LSA.
stability-interval
 
Stability timer for a NSSA area. If an elected translator determines its services are no longer required, it continues to perform its duties for this time interval. This minimizes excess flushing of translated Type-7 LSAs and provides a more stable translator transition.
<0-2147483647>
 
Stability interval in seconds.
no-redistribution
Do not redistribute into the NSSA.
default-information-originate
 
Originate Type-7 default LSA into the NSSA.

<1-2>
Specify metric type:
1: Type 1 external route
2: Type 2 external route
no-summary
Do not inject inter-area routes into the NSSA.
translate-candidate
 
Translate NSSA-LSA to Type-5 LSA if router is elected.
translate-always
 
Always translate NSSA-LSA to Type-5 LSA.
Default
By default, the nssa option value is candidate.
Command Mode
Router mode
Applicability
This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.
Examples
(config)#router ipv6 ospf
(config-router)#area 3 nssa translator-role candidate no-redistribution default-information-originate metric 34 metric-type 2
area range
Use this command to configure the OSPF address range. This command summarizes intra-area routes for an area. The single summary route is then advertised to other areas by the Area Border Routers (ABRs). Routing information is condensed at area boundaries and outside the area. If the network numbers in an area are assigned in a way such that they are contiguous, the ABRs can be configured to advertise a summary route that covers all the individual networks within the area that fall into the specified range.
Use the no parameter with this command to remove the assigned area range.
Command Syntax
area (A.B.C.D|<0-4294967295>) range X:X::X:X/M
area (A.B.C.D|<0-4294967295>) range X:X::X:X/M (not-advertise|)
no area (A.B.C.D|<0-4294967295>) range X:X::X:X/M (not-advertise|)
Parameters
A.B.C.D
OSPF Area ID in IPv4 address format.
<0-4294967295>
OSPF Area ID as a decimal value.
X:X::X:X/M
The area IPv6 range prefix and length.
not-advertise
Does not advertise this range.
Default
By default, OSPF address range is advertised.
Command Mode
Router mode
Applicability
This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.
Examples
#configure terminal
(config)#router ipv6 ospf
(config-router)#area 1 range 2000::/3
 
area stub
Use this command to define an area as a stub area on all routers. There are two stub area router configuration commands: the stub and commands. In all routers attached to the stub area, configure the area by using the stub option of the area command. For an area border router (ABR) attached to the stub area, use the area command.
Use the no form of this command to make an area a normal area.
Command Syntax
area (A.B.C.D|<0-4294967295>) stub
area (A.B.C.D|<0-4294967295>) stub no-summary
no area (A.B.C.D|<0-4294967295>) stub
no area (A.B.C.D|<0-4294967295>) stub no-summary
Parameters
A.B.C.D
OSPF Area ID in IPv4 address format.
<0-4294967295>
OSPF Area ID as a decimal value.
no-summary
Stops an ABR from sending summary link advertisements into the stub area.
Default
No stub area is defined.
Command Mode
Router mode
Applicability
This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.
Examples
#configure terminal
(config)#router ipv6 ospf
(config-router)#area 1 stub no-summary
area virtual-link
Use this command to configure a link between two backbone areas that are physically separated through other nonbackbone areas.
Use the no parameter with this command to remove the virtual link.
In OSPFv3, all non-backbone areas must be connected to a backbone area. If the connection to the backbone is lost, the virtual link repairs the connection.You can configure virtual links between any two backbone routers that have an interface to a common non-backbone area. The protocol treats these two routers joined by a virtual link as if they were connected by an unnumbered point-to-point network.
Configure the hello-interval to be the same for all routers attached to a common network. If the hello-interval is short, the router detects topological changes faster, but more routing traffic follows.
The retransmit-interval is the expected round-trip delay between any two routers in a network. Set the value to be greater than the expected round-trip delay to avoid needless retransmissions.
The transmit-delay is the time taken to transmit a link state update packet on the interface. Before transmission, the link state advertisements in the update packet are increased by this amount. Set the transmit-delay to be greater than zero. Also, take into account the transmission and propagation delays for the interface.
Command Syntax
area (A.B.C.D|<0-4294967295>) virtual-link A.B.C.D
area (A.B.C.D|<0-4294967295>) virtual-link A.B.C.D fall-over bfd

auto-cost reference bandwidth
Use this command to control how OSPFv3 calculates default metrics for the interface.
By default, OSPFv3 calculates the OSPFv3 metric for an interface by dividing the reference bandwidth by the interface bandwidth. The auto-cost command is used to differentiate high bandwidth links. For multiple links with high bandwidth, specify a larger reference bandwidth value to differentiate cost on those links.
Use the no form of this command to assign cost based only on the interface bandwidth.

default-information originate
Use this command to create a default external route into an OSPF routing domain.
The system acts like an Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR) when you use the default-information originate command to redistribute routes into an OSPF routing domain. An ASBR does not by default generate a default route into the OSPF routing domain.
When you give the default-information originate command, also specify a route-map to avoid a dependency on the default network in the routing table.
Use the no parameter with this command to disable this feature.
Command Syntax
default-information originate
default-information originate {metric <0-16777214>|metric-type (1|2)|route-map WORD|always}
no default-information originate
no default-information originate {metric|metric-type|route-map|always}
Parameters
always

metric
Sets the OSPF metric used in creating the default route.
<0-16777214>
 
Sets the OSPF metric used in creating the default route. The value used is specific to the protocol.
metric-type
The external link type associated with the default route advertised into the OSPF routing domain (see RFC 3101).
1
Sets OSPF External Type 1 metric.
2
Sets OSPF External Type 2 metric (default).
route-map
Route map.
WORD
Specify the name of route map.
Default
Sets the OSPF metric used in creating the default route. The default metric value is 20. The value used is specific to the protocol. metric-type The external link type associated with the default route advertised into the OSPF routing domain (see RFC 3101).
By default, 2 sets OSPF External Type 2 metric
Command Mode

A default metric facilitates redistributing routes with incompatible metrics. If the metrics do not convert, the default metric provides an alternative. Use this command to use the same metric value for all redistributed routes. Use this command in conjunction with the redistribute command.
Use the no parameter with this command to return to the default state.
Command Syntax
default-metric <1-16777214>
no default-metric
Parameter
<1-16777214>
Default metric value.
Default
Default metric for redistributed routes will be 20.
Command Mode
Router mode
Applicability

Examples
#configure terminal
(config)#router ipv6 ospf
(config-router)#default-metric 100
distance
Use this command to define OSPFv3 route administrative distances based on route type. This command sets the distance for an entire group of routes rather than a specific route that passes an access list.
The administrative distance rates the trustworthiness of a routing information source. A higher distance value means a lower trust rating. For example, an administrative distance of 254 means that the routing information source cannot be trusted and should be ignored.
Use the no form of this command to restore the default value.
Command Syntax
distance <1-254>
distance ospfv3 {intra-area <1-254>|inter-area <1-254>|external <1-254>}
no distance (<1-254>|)
no distance ospfv3 {intra-area |inter-area |external}
Parameters
<1-254>
Used alone, this parameter specifies a default administrative distance used when no other specification exists for a routing information source.
intra-area
Routes within an area.
<1-254>
Distance for all routes within an area
inter-area
Routes from one area to another area.
<1-254>
Distance for all routes from one area to another area.
external
Routes from other routing domains learned by redistribution.
<1-254>
Distance for routes from other routing domains learned by redistribution.
Default
By default, distance value for each type of route is 110

ipv6 ospf link-lsa-suppression
Use this command to enable or disable link LSA (type 8) suppression. A type 8 LSA gives information about link-local addresses and a list of IPv6 addresses on the link.
If enabled and the interface type is not broadcast or NBMA, the router does not send type 8 link LSAs. This implies that other routers on the link determine the router's next-hop address using a mechanism other than the type 8 link LSA. This feature is implicitly disabled if the interface type is broadcast or NBMA.
Command Syntax
ipv6 ospf link-lsa-suppression (enable|disable)
ipv6 ospf link-lsa-suppression (enable|disable) instance-id (<0-31>|<64-95>)
Parameters
enable

This example shows using the adv-router and intra-prefix parameters.
Note: The same information for OSPFv2 can be viewed in type 1 router LSAs and type 2 network LSAs. However, in OSPFv3 all addressing information has been removed from router LSAs and network LSAs, leading to the introduction of the Intra-Area-Prefix LSA. In a transit network, the Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA serves the same purpose as a network LSA and on a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint network serves the same purpose as a router LSA.

• If the specified IPV6 address range is 2020:100:100:2000::/53, it matches 2020:100:100:2222::/64, 2020:100:100:2666::/64 and so on.
• If the specified IPV4 address range is 192.168.0.0/255.255.240.0, it matches 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.4.0/22, 192.168.8.128/25 and so on.
Redistributing routes from other protocols into OSPF requires the router to advertise each route individually in an external LSA. Use this command to advertise one summary route for all redistributed routes covered by a specified network address and mask. This minimizes the size of the OSPF link state database.
Use the no form this command to remove summary addresses.
Command Syntax
summary-address X:X::X:X/M (not-advertise|(all-tag (<0-4294967295> ))| ) (translate-tag (<0-4294967295>) | )
summary-address A.B.C.D/M (not-advertise|tag <0-4294967295>|)
no summary-address A.B.C.D/M
no summary-address X:X::X:X/M (not-advertise|all-tag|translate-tag)
no summary-address A.B.C.D/M (not-advertise|tag)
Parameters
X:X::X:X/M
The range of addresses given as IPv6 starting address and a mask.
A.B.C.D/M
The range of addresses given as IPv4 starting address and a mask.
not-advertise
Suppress routes that match the range.
tag
Tag value to use as a “match” value for controlling redistribution via route maps.
<0-4294967295>
 
Set a tag value. The default is 0.
all-tag
Set tag for all summarized type-5, translated type5 and type-7 LSA.
translate-tag
Set tag only for summarized translated type-5 LSA.
Default
By default, summary-address value is 0
Command Mode
Router mode
Applicability
This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.
Examples
The following example uses the summary-address command to aggregate external LSAs that match the network 172.16.0.0/24 and assign a tag value of 3.
#configure terminal
(config)#router ipv6 ospf
(config-router)#summary-address 2020:100:100:2000::/53 all-tag 3
