OSPFv3 (IPv6)
#############
+General Configuration
+---------------------
+
+VyOS does not have a special command to start the OSPFv3 process. The OSPFv3
+process starts when the first ospf enabled interface is configured.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols ospfv3 area <number> interface <interface>
+
+ This command specifies the OSPFv3 enabled interface. This command is also
+ used to enable the OSPF process. The area number can be specified in
+ decimal notation in the range from 0 to 4294967295. Or it can be specified
+ in dotted decimal notation similar to ip address.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols ospfv3 parameters router-id <rid>
+
+ This command sets the router-ID of the OSPFv3 process. The router-ID may be
+ an IP address of the router, but need not be – it can be any arbitrary
+ 32bit number. However it MUST be unique within the entire OSPFv3 domain to
+ the OSPFv3 speaker – bad things will happen if multiple OSPFv3 speakers are
+ configured with the same router-ID!
+
+
+Optional Configuration
+----------------------
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols ospfv3 distance global <distance>
+
+ This command change distance value of OSPFv3 globally.
+ The distance range is 1 to 255.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols ospfv3 distance ospfv3
+ <external|inter-area|intra-area> <distance>
+
+ This command change distance value of OSPFv3. The arguments are the
+ distance values for external routes, inter-area routes and intra-area
+ routes respectively. The distance range is 1 to 255.
+
+
+Areas Configuration
+-------------------
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols ospfv3 area <number> range <prefix>
+
+ This command summarizes intra area paths from specified area into one
+ Type-3 Inter-Area Prefix LSA announced to other areas. This command can be
+ used only in ABR.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols ospfv3 area <number> range <prefix> not-advertise
+
+ This command instead of summarizing intra area paths filter them - i.e.
+ intra area paths from this range are not advertised into other areas. This
+ command makes sense in ABR only.
+
+
+Interfaces Configuration
+------------------------
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces <inttype> <intname> ipv6 ospfv3 cost <number>
+
+ This command sets link cost for the specified interface. The cost value is
+ set to router-LSA’s metric field and used for SPF calculation. The cost
+ range is 1 to 65535.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces <inttype> <intname> ipv6 ospfv3 dead-interval
+ <number>
+
+ Set number of seconds for router Dead Interval timer value used for Wait
+ Timer and Inactivity Timer. This value must be the same for all routers
+ attached to a common network. The default value is 40 seconds. The
+ interval range is 1 to 65535.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces <inttype> <intname> ipv6 ospfv3 hello-interval
+ <number>
+
+ Set number of seconds for Hello Interval timer value. Setting this value,
+ Hello packet will be sent every timer value seconds on the specified
+ interface. This value must be the same for all routers attached to a
+ common network. The default value is 10 seconds. The interval range is 1
+ to 65535.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces <inttype> <intname> ipv6 ospfv3 mtu-ignore
+
+ This command disables check of the MTU value in the OSPF DBD packets.
+ Thus, use of this command allows the OSPF adjacency to reach the FULL
+ state even though there is an interface MTU mismatch between two OSPF
+ routers.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces <inttype> <intname> ipv6 ospfv3 network <type>
+
+ This command allows to specify the distribution type for the network
+ connected to this interface:
+
+ **broadcast** – broadcast IP addresses distribution.
+ **point-to-point** – address distribution in point-to-point networks.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces <inttype> <intname> ipv6 ospfv3 priority <number>
+
+ This command sets Router Priority integer value. The router with the
+ highest priority will be more eligible to become Designated Router.
+ Setting the value to 0, makes the router ineligible to become Designated
+ Router. The default value is 1. The interval range is 0 to 255.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces <inttype> <intname> ipv6 ospfv3 passive
+
+ This command specifies interface as passive. Passive interface advertises
+ its address, but does not run the OSPF protocol (adjacencies are not formed
+ and hello packets are not generated).
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces <inttype> <intname> ipv6 ospfv3 retransmit-interval
+ <number>
+
+ This command sets number of seconds for RxmtInterval timer value. This
+ value is used when retransmitting Database Description and Link State
+ Request packets if acknowledge was not received. The default value is 5
+ seconds. The interval range is 3 to 65535.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces <inttype> <intname> ipv6 ospfv3 transmit-delay
+ <number>
+
+ This command sets number of seconds for InfTransDelay value. It allows to
+ set and adjust for each interface the delay interval before starting the
+ synchronizing process of the router's database with all neighbors. The
+ default value is 1 seconds. The interval range is 3 to 65535.
+
+
+Redistribution Configuration
+----------------------------
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols ospfv3 redistribute <route source>
+
+ This command redistributes routing information from the given route source
+ to the OSPFv3 process. There are five modes available for route source:
+ bgp, connected, kernel, ripng, static.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols ospf redistribute <route source> route-map <name>
+
+ This command allows to use route map to filter redistributed routes from
+ given route source. There are five modes available for route source: bgp,
+ connected, kernel, ripng, static.
