Configure OSPFv3 on an Advanced Routing Engine
Configure OSPFv3 on an advanced routing engine.
The Advanced Routing Engine supports OSPFv3,
which supports only IPv6 addressing. Before you configure OSPFv3,
you should understand OSPF Concepts.
Consider
the OSPFv3 Routing Profiles and filters that
you can apply to OSPFv3 and thereby save configuration time and
maintain consistency. You can create profiles and filters in advance
or as you configure OSPFv3.
- Configure general OSPFv3 routing options.
- Selectand select the logical router.NetworkRoutingLogical Routers
- SelectOSPFv3andEnableit.
- Assign aRouter IDto OPSFv3 for the logical router, which is typically an IPv4 address (even though OSPFv3 is for IPv6 addressing), to ensure the Router ID is unique.
- If you want to apply BFD to OSPFv3, select aBFD Profileyou created, or select thedefaultprofile, or create a new BFD Profile to apply to all OSPFv3 interfaces belonging to the logical router. Default isNone (Disable BFD).
- Select aGlobal General Timerprofile or create a new one to set SPF throttle timers and to set the minimum interval between arriving instances of the same link-state advertisement (LSA).
- Select aGlobal Interface Timerprofile or create a new one to set the hello interval, retransmit interval, and other settings.
- Select aRedistribution Profileor create a new one to redistribute IPv6 static routes, connected routes, IPv6 BGP routes, or the IPv6 default route to OSPFv3.
- ClickOK.
- Create an OSPFv3 area and specify characteristics based on the type of area.
- Selectand select the logical router.NetworkRoutingLogical Routers
- SelectandOSPFv3AreaAddan Area byArea ID(an IPv4 address).
- Specify theTypeof area:
- Normal—There are no restrictions; the area can carry all types of routes.
- Stub—There is no outlet from the area. To reach a destination outside of the area, traffic must go through an Area Border Router (ABR), which connects to other areas and area 0.
- NSSA(Not So Stubby Area)—Traffic can leave the area directly, but only by using non-OSPF routes.
- (Stub and NSSA areas only) Selectno-summaryto prevent the area from receiving Type 3 Summary LSAs and thereby reduce traffic in the area.
- (NSSA area only) SelectDefault information originateto cause OSPFv3 to originate a default route.
- Enter aMetricfor the default route; range is 1 to 16,777,214; default is 10.
- Select theMetric-Type:Type 1orType 2. Type E1 cost is the sum of the external cost plus the internal cost to reach that route. Type E2 is only the external cost of that route. This can be useful when you want to load-balance the same external route, for example.
- SelectABRif you want to configure filtering options.
- Select anImport-listor create a new Access List to filter Type-3 LSAs; applies to paths announced into the specified area as Type-3 summary LSAs.
- Select anExport-listor create a new Access List to filter Type-3 summary LSAs announced to other areas originated from intra-area paths from the specified area.
- Select anInbound Filter Listor create a new Prefix List to filter Type-3 summary LSAs coming into the area.If you apply an Import access list and Inbound prefix list, firewall uses an AND operation (both lists must be met).
- Select anOutbound Filter Listor create a new Prefix List to filter Type-3 summary LSAs from the area.If you apply an Export access list and Outbound prefix list, firewall uses an AND operation (both lists must be met).
- If theTypeof area isNSSAandABRis selected,AddanIPv6 Prefixto summarize a group of external subnets into a single Type-7 LSA, which is then translated to a Type-5 LSA and advertised to the backbone when you selectAdvertise.
- Specify the network range that a Type-3 Summary LSA announces to the backbone area if the area contains at least one intra-area network (that is, described with router or network LSA) from this range.
- SelectRangeandAddanIPv6 Address/Netmask, which summarizes routes for the area. A Type-3 Summary LSA with routing information that matches the range is announced into the backbone area if the area contains at least one intra-area network from this range.
- SelectAdvertiseto advertise matching subnets in LSAs to the backbone area. IfAdvertiseis set to No, any matching intra-area prefixes that are present in the area will not be advertised in the backbone area.
- Add interfaces to the area.
- On theInterfacetab,AddanInterfaceby selecting one.
- Enablethe interface.
- SelectMTU Ignoreto ignore maximum transmission unit (MTU) mismatches when trying to establish an adjacency (default is disabled; MTU match checking occurs).
- SelectPassiveto prevent sending OSPF Hello packets out this interface and thus prevent the logical router from creating an OSPF adjacency with a neighbor; however, the interface is still included in the link-state database. You can make an interface passive, for example if it connects to a switch, because you don’t want to send Hello packets where there is no router.
- Keep theInstance IDset to 0 because only one instance of OSPFv3 is allowed.
- Select theLink Type:
- Broadcast—All neighbors that are accessible through the interface are discovered automatically by multicasting OSPF Hello messages, such as over an Ethernet interface.
- p2p(point-to-point)—Automatically discover the neighbor.
- p2mp(point-to-multipoint)—Neighbors must be defined manually:AddtheNeighborIPv6 address for all neighbors that are reachable through this interface and thePriorityof each neighbor to be elected the designated router (DR) or backup DR; range is 0 to 255; default is 1.
- Enter aPriorityfor the interface—the priority for the router to be elected as a designated router (DR) or backup DR (BDR); range is 0 to 255; default is 1. If zero is configured, the router will not be elected as DR or BDR.
- Select an OSPFv3 InterfaceTimer Profileor create a new one to apply to the interface. This OSPFv3 Interface Timer profile overrides the Global Interface Timer applied to OSPFv3.
- Select an OSPFv3 InterfaceAuthenticationprofile or create a new one to apply to the interface. This Authentication Profile overrides the Authentication Profile applied to the Area (on the Type tab).
- By default, the interface will inherit the BFD profile you applied to the logical router for OSPFv3 (Inherit-vr-global-setting). Alternatively, select thedefaultprofile, select aBFD Profileyou created, create a new one, or selectNone (Disable BFD)to override the BFD Profile applied at the OSPFv3 level.
- Enter an OSPFv3Costfor the interface, which influences route selection; range is 1 to 65,5535; default is 10. During route selection, a route with a lower cumulative cost (the added costs of each interface used) is preferred over a route with a higher cumulative cost.
- ClickOKto save the interface.
- If the ABR does not have a physical link to the backbone area, configure a virtual link to a neighbor ABR within the same area that has a physical link to the backbone area.The following settings must be defined for area border routers (ABRs) and must be defined within the backbone area (0.0.0.0).
- SelectVirtual Link.
- AddaVirtual LinkbyName(a maximum of 31 characters).
- Enablethe virtual link.
- Select the transitAreawhere the neighbor ABR that has the physical link to the backbone area is located.
- Enter theRouter IDof the neighbor ABR on the remote end of the virtual link.
- Select an OSPFv3 InterfaceTimer Profileor create a new Timer Profile to apply to the virtual link. This OSPFv3 Interface Timer profile overrides the Global Interface Timer applied to OSPFv3 and the OSPFv3 Interface Timer profile applied to the interface.
- Select an OSPF InterfaceAuthenticationprofile or create a new Authentication Profile to apply to the virtual link. This Authentication Profile overrides the Authentication Profile applied to the Area (on the Type tab) and the Authentication Profile applied to the interface.
- ClickOK.
- ClickOKto save the area.
- Configure advanced OSPFv3 features.
- Selectand select the logical router.NetworkRoutingLogical Routers
- Select.OSPFv3Advanced
- Enable Graceful Restartto enable Graceful Restart for the logical router. Default is enabled.
- Enable Helper Modeto enable the logical router to function in Graceful Restart helper mode. Default is enabled.
- Enable Strict LSA Checkingto cause the helper router to stop performing helper mode and to cause the graceful restart process to stop if a link-state advertisement indicates a network topology change. Default is enabled.
- Enter aGrace Period (sec)—the number of seconds within which the logical router will perform a graceful restart if the firewall goes down or becomes unavailable; range is 5 to 1,800; default is 120.
- Enter aMax Neighbor Restart Time (sec)—the maximum number of seconds of Grace Period that the logical router accepts from a neighbor when the logical router is in Helper Mode; range is 5 to 1,800; default is 140.
- SelectDisable R-Bit and v6-Bitto clear the R-bit and V6-bit in router LSAs sent from this logical router to indicate that the firewall is not active. When in this state, the firewall participates in OSPFv3 but does not send transit traffic or IPv6 datagrams. In this state, local traffic will still be forwarded to the firewall. This is useful while performing maintenance with a dual-homed network because traffic can be re-routed around the firewall while it can still be reached. See RFC 5340.
- ClickOKto save advanced settings.
- Configure intra-area filtering to determine which OSPFv3 routes are placed in the global RIB.You might learn OSPFv3 routes and redistribute them, but not want them in the global RIB; you might want to allow only specific OSPFv3 routes to the global RIB.
