OSPFv3 Interface Configuration

1. Enter the following parameters:

Ignore MTU: Select this option to ignore any mismatches in maximum transmission unit (MTU) values between the local and remote interfaces that are found during OSPFv3 negotiations.

Passive Mode: Select this option to have the interface receive but not transmit OSPFv3 packets.

Link Type: Select the link type for the interface.

default: Select this option to configure the interface as the default link.

p2p: Select this option to configure the interface as a point-to-point link.

p2mp: Select this option to configure the interface as a point-to-multipoint link

Cost: Enter a value that specifies the desirability of the path associated with the interface, compared to paths of other interfaces. The lower the value, the more desirable the interface path.

Instance ID: Enter a value that specifies the selection of the neighbor routers. Only routers with the same instance ID can become neighbors.

Priority: Enter the router election priority.

Dead Interval: Enter a value that specifies the maximum amount of time that the security device waits for a response from a neighbor before classifying the neighbor as off-line.

Hello Interval: Enter a value that specifies the amount of time, in seconds, that elapses between instances of the interface sending out Hello packets to the network announcing the presence of the interface.

Retransmit Interval: Enter a value that specifies the amount of time, in seconds, that elapses before the interface resends a packet to a neighbor that rejected a previous transmission attempt for the same packet.

Transmit Delay: Enter a value that specifies the amount of time, in seconds, that elapses before the security device advertises a packet received on the interface.

OSPFV3 Enabled: Select this option to enable OSPFv3.

2. Click OK to save the configuration and return to the OSPFv3 Interface List page. Click Apply to continue configuring the interface.
