Open Shortest Path First version 3
Open Shortest Path First version 3 (OSPFv3) is the OSPF routing protocol for IPv6. It is
similar to OSPFv2 (generally just called OSPF) in its concept of a link state database,
intra- and inter-area, and AS external routes and virtual links.
You can use OSPF and OSPFv3 simultaneously: OSPF works with IPv4, and OSPFv3
works with IPv6.
OSPFv3 differs from OSPF in a number of respects:
• Peering is done through link-local addresses
• The protocol is link based rather than network based
• Address changes are communicated through leaf Link State Advertisements (LSAs),
which eventually allow its use for both IPv4 and IPv6
• Point-to-point links are supported to enable operation over tunnels
Enable OSPFv3
Before OSPFv3 can become operational, you must enable the administrative mode for
IPv6 routing on the switch (see Manage the global IPv6 routing settings on page 409).
To enable OSPFv3:
1. Launch a web browser.
2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
