In admin@XorPlus, OSPFv3 is supported. 


Configuring the Router ID

admin@XorPlus# set protocols ospf6 instance-id 1

Configuring an OSPF Area and Area-Type

Area 0.0.0.0 is the backbone area of OSPF; each OSPF domain should have the area 0.0.0.0. Area types includes normal, stub, and NSSA.

admin@XorPlus# set protocols ospf6 area 0.0.0.0 area-type normal
admin@XorPlus# set protocols ospf6 area 1.1.1.1 area-type stub
admin@XorPlus# set protocols ospf6 area 2.2.2.2 area-type nssa
admin@XorPlus# commit
Waiting for merging configuration.
Commit OK.
Save done.

Configuring OSPF Interfaces

admin@XorPlus# set vlans vlan-id 2 l3-interface vlan-2
admin@XorPlus# set vlans vlan-id 3 l3-interface vlan-3
admin@XorPlus# set vlan-interface interface vlan-2 vif vlan-2 address 2001::15 prefix-length 64
admin@XorPlus# set vlan-interface interface vlan-3 vif vlan-3 address 2002::15 prefix-length 64
admin@XorPlus# set interface gigabit-ethernet ge-1/1/1 family ethernet-switching native-vlan-id 2
admin@XorPlus# set interface gigabit-ethernet ge-1/1/2 family ethernet-switching native-vlan-id 3
admin@XorPlus# set protocols ospf6 area 0.0.0.0 interface vlan-2 vif vlan-2 address 2001::15
admin@XorPlus# set protocols ospf6 area 0.0.0.0 interface vlan-3 vif vlan-3 address 2002::15
admin@XorPlus# set protocols ospf6 instance-id 1
admin@XorPlus# set protocols ospf6 router-id 1.1.1.1
admin@XorPlus# commit 
Waiting for merging configuration.
Commit OK.
Save done.
admin@XorPlus#
admin@XorPlus# run show ospf6 interface 
Interface State Area DR ID BDR ID Nbrs
--------- -------- --------------- --------------- --------------- ----
vlan-2 Down 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 
vlan-3 Down 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 


Configuring Additional OSPF Interface Parameters

See below to configure additional OSPF interface parameters (hello-interval, interface-cost, static neighbor, priority, retransmit-interval, router-dead-interval, and transmit-delay).

admin@XorPlus# set protocols ospf6 area 0.0.0.0 interface vlan-2 vif vlan-2 hello-interval 10
admin@XorPlus# set protocols ospf6 area 0.0.0.0 interface vlan-2 vif vlan-2 interface-cost 8
admin@XorPlus# set protocols ospf6 area 0.0.0.0 interface vlan-2 vif vlan-2 transmit-delay 2
admin@XorPlus# commit 
Waiting for merging configuration.
Commit OK.
Save done.
