Enabling OSPFv3

Note: Before you can enable OSPFv3, you must specify an IPv6 license key. For additional information about configuring an IPv6 license key, see Configuring an IPv6 License .

OSPFv3 provides IPv6 support in the OSPF protocol. To enable OSPFv3:

1. Issue the ipv6 router ospf command, and specify a process ID.
2. Use the router id command to specify a router ID for OSPFv3.

   See Specifying an OSPF Router ID.

3. Issue the ipv6 ospf area command (in interface configuration mode) to create an OSPFv3 interface under an area ID.

You can delete OSPFv3 interfaces in the following ways:

• You can issue the no ipv6 router ospf command, which deletes OSPFv3.
• You can issue the no ipv6 ospf area command to remove the OSPF interface from a specific area.
