set protocols ospf6 capability opaque

Run the command set protocols ospf6 capability opaque to enable the capability to generate Opaque LSAs in the OSPFv3 process, allowing the OSPFv3 process to generate Opaque LSAs and receive them from neighboring devices. Optional parameter vrf can be used to specify a VRF, if no VRF is specified the command takes effect on the default VRF. Optional parameter instance-id can be included to specify the OSPFv3 multi-instance ID in the default VRF.

Multiple instances of OSPFv3 are only allowed in the default VRF. A maximum of 8 instance can be configured in the default VRF. In non-default VRFs, only single instance OSPF can be configured.

The command delete protocols ospf6 capability opaque can be used to remove this configuration.

Command Syntax

set protocols ospf6 [instance-id <instance-id>] [vrf<vrf-name>] capability opaque

delete protocols ospf6 [instance-id <instance-id>] [vrf <vrf-name>] capability opaque

Parameter

Parameter	Description
instance-id <instance-id>	Optional, specifies the OSPF instance ID. The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 8.
vrf <vrf-name>	Optional. Specifies the name of the VRF for the OSPF instance.

Usage Guidelines

Opaque LSAs provide a generic mechanism for OSPFv3 extensions, supporting the OSPFv3 Graceful Restart (GR) feature through Type 9 LSAs. Therefore, before configuring OSPFv3 GR, you must enable OSPF's Opaque LSA capability using this command.

Example

Enable the capability to generate Opaque LSAs in the OSPFv3 process.
