Part 2: Configure Traditional OSPFv3 for IPv6 on D1
Part 3: Configure OSPFv3 for Address Families (AF) IPv4 and AF IPv6
Part 4: Verify OSPFv3 AF
Part 5: Tune OSPFv3 AF

Background / Scenario
In this lab, you will configure the network with multiarea OSPFv3 routing using the AF feature for both IPv4
and IPv6 in OSPF areas 0, 1 and 2. This lab was specifically designed to use three routers and two Layer 3
switches that support OSPFv3 using AF.
It should be noted that OSPFv3 runs on top of IPv6 and uses IPv6 link local addresses for OSPFv3 control
packets. Therefore, it is required that IPv6 be enabled on an OSPFv3 link, although the link may not be
participating in any IPv6 AFs. Additionally, OSPFv3 AF for IPv4 unicast is not backwards compatible with
OSPFv2.
Note: The routers used with CCNP hands-on labs are Cisco 4221 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4
(universalk9 image). Other routers and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model and Cisco
IOS version, the commands available and the output produced might vary from what is shown in the labs.
Note: The switches used with CCNP hands-on labs are Cisco Catalyst 3650s with Cisco IOS XE Release
16.9.4 (universalk9 image). Other switches and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model
and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary from what is shown in the
labs.
Note: Ensure that the routers and switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are
unsure contact your instructor.

Required Resources
• 3 Routers (Cisco 4221 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4 universal image or comparable)
• 2 Switches (Cisco 3650 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4 universal image or comparable)

Part 2: Configure Traditional OSPFv3 for IPv6 on D1

Step 1: Configure traditional OSPFv3 on D1.
Traditional OSPFv3 implements OSPF routing for IPv6. In this part of the lab, you will configure traditional
OSPFv3 for routing IPv6 on D1, which is in the IPv6-only area.
a. OSPFv3 messages are sourced from the router’s IPv6 link-local address. Earlier in this lab, IPv6 GUA
and link-local addresses were statically configured on each router’s interface. The link-local addresses
were statically configured to make these addresses more recognizable than being automatically created
using EUI-64. Issue the show ipv6 interface brief command to verify the GUA and link-local addresses
on the router’s interfaces.
Open configuration window

b. IPv6 routing is disabled by default. Enable IPv6 routing using the ipv6 unicast-routing command in
global configuration mode.
D1(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
c. Most Cisco IOS versions have IPv6 CEF enabled by default when IPv6 routing is enabled. Use the show
ipv6 cef command to verify whether IPv6 CEF is enabled. If you need to enable IPv6 CEF, use the ipv6
cef command. If IPv6 CEF is disabled you will see the an IOS message similar to “%IPv6 CEF not
running".

d. Configure the OSPFv3 process on D1. Similar to OSPFv2, the process ID does not have to match other
routers to form neighbor adjacencies, although that is considered best practice. Configure the 32-bit
OSPFv3 router ID on each router. Enable OSPFv3 directly on the interfaces using the interface ipv6 ospf
pid area area command.
D1(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
D1(config)# ipv6 router ospf 123
D1(config-rtr)# router-id 1.1.1.2
D1(config-rtr)# exit
D1(config)# interface g1/0/11
D1(config-if)# ipv6 ospf 123 area 1
D1(config-if)# exit
D1(config)# interface g1/0/23
D1(config-if)# ipv6 ospf 123 area 1
D1(config-if)# exit
e. The show ipv6 ospf command can be used to verify the OSPF router ID. If the OSPFv3 router ID is uses
a 32-bit value other than the one specified by the router-id command, you can reset the router ID by
using the clear ipv6 ospf pid process command and re-verify using the command show ipv6 ospf.
D1# show ipv6 ospf

Part 3: Configure OSPFv3 for AF IPv4 and AF IPv6

OSPFv3 with the address family (AF) unifies OSPF configuration for both IPv4 and IPv6. Each OSPFv3 AF is
a single process, so you may have two processes per interface, but only one process per AF. OSPFv3
messages are sent over IPv6 which requires that IPv6 routing is enabled and that the interface has a link-
local IPv6 address. This is the requirement even if only the IPv4 AF is configured.

Lab - Implement Multiarea OSPFv3

In this section you will configure OSPFv3 with AF for the IPv4 and IPv6 address families on R1, R2, R3, D1
and D2.

Step 1: Configure OSPFv3 with AF on R1.

a. After enabling IPv6 unicast routing, configure OSPFv3 with AF on R1 using the router ospfv3 pid
command. Use the ? to see the address families available.
Open configuration window

R1(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing

R1(config)# router ospfv3 123
R1(config-router)# address-family ?
ipv4 Address family
ipv6 Address family

b. Next, specify the AF for IPv4 and use the ? to see the available options.
R1(config-router)# address-family ipv4 ?
unicast Address Family modifier
vrf Specify parameters for a VPN Routing/Forwarding instance
<cr>

c. Enter the AF for IPv4 unicast using the command address-family ipv4 unicast. Use the ? to examine
the options in AF configuration mode. Some of the more common configuration commands are
highlighted. Use the router-id command to configure the router ID for the IPv4 AF.
R1(config-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast
R1(config-router-af)# ?

d. Exit the IPv4 AF configuration mode and enter the AF IPv6 configuration mode. The exit-address-family
(or a shorter version of exit) command is used exit address family configuration mode. Issue the
address-family ipv6 unicast command to enter the IPv6 AF. For the IPv6 AF, use the router-id
command to configure the router ID. It isn’t necessary to configure a different router ID for IPv6 AF but it
is a valid option. The exit command is used to return to global configuration mode.
R1(config-router-af)# exit-address-family
R1(config-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast
R1(config-router-af)# router-id 1.1.1.1
R1(config-router-af)# exit-address-family
R1(config-router)# exit
e. OSPFv3 is enabled directly on the interfaces for both IPv4 and IPv6 AFs using the ospfv3 pid [ ipv4 |
ipv6 ] area area-id interface command. Use this command to enable OSPFv3 on both of R1’s interfaces.
R1(config)# interface g0/0/0
R1(config-if)# ospfv3 123 ipv4 area 0
R1(config-if)# ospfv3 123 ipv6 area 0
R1(config-if)# exit
R1(config)# interface g0/0/1

R1(config-if)# ospfv3 123 ipv6 area 1
Close configuration window

Step 2: Configure OSPFv3 with AF IPv4 and AF IPv6 on R2.

Enable IPv6 unicast routing and configure the OSPFv3 with AF for both IPv4 and IPv6 on R2, similar to the
configuration for R1.
Open configuration window

Close configuration window

Step 3: Configure OSPFv3 with IPv4 AF and IPv6 AF on R3.

Enable IPv6 unicast routing and configure the OSPFv3 with AF for both IPv4 and IPv6 on R3, similar to the
configurations for R1 and R2. On R3, set the router ID for both IPv4 AF and IPv6 AF with a single command
as shown.
Open configuration window

R3(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing

R3(config)# router ospfv3 123

R3(config-router)# router-id 3.3.3.1
R3(config-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast
R3(config-router-af)# exit-address-family
R3(config-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast
R3(config-router-af)# exit-address-family
R3(config-router)# exit

R3(config)# interface g0/0/0

R3(config-if)# ospfv3 123 ipv4 area 0
R3(config-if)# ospfv3 123 ipv6 area 0
R3(config-if)# exit
R3(config)# interface g0/0/1
R3(config-if)# ospfv3 123 ipv4 area 2
R3(config-if)# ospfv3 123 ipv6 area 2
Close configuration window

Step 4: Configure OSPFv3 with AF on D2.

a. Enter the following command to enable routing for IPv4. (This may not be required on depending on
model and IOS.)
Open configuration window

D2(config)# ip routing
b. Enter the following command to enable routing for IPv6. (This may not be required on depending on
model and IOS.)
D2(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing

Note: By default, the 3650 supports IPv6 interface configuration.

c. Configure the OSPFv3 with AF for both IPv4 and IPv6 on D2, similar to the configurations for R1, R2 and
R3.
D2(config)# router ospfv3 123
D2(config-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast
D2(config-router-af)# router-id 3.3.3.2
D2(config-router-af)# exit-address-family

Part 4: Verify OSPFv3

The commands to verify traditional OSPFv3 and OSPFv3 with AF may differ. This is because OSPFv3 with
AF commands include information for both IPv4 and IPv6 address families, whereas traditional OSPFv3 is for
IPv6 only.

Step 1: Verifying neighbor adjacencies.

a. Use the show ipv6 ospf neighbor command on D1 to display OSPFv3 neighbors. This is a command
used for routers configured with traditional OSPFv3. The equivalent command for OSPFv2 would be
show ip ospf neighbor.
Open configuration window

D1# show ipv6 ospf neighbor

OSPFv3 Router with ID (1.1.1.2) (Process ID 123)

Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Interface ID Interface

1.1.1.1 1 FULL/DR 00:00:39 6 GigabitEthernet1/0/11

b. This same command on a router running OSPFv3 with AF would generate similar output. For example, on
R1 issue the same show ipv6 ospf neighbor command. Notice the output is only OSPFv3 for the IPv6
AF.
R1# show ipv6 ospf neighbor

OSPFv3 Router with ID (1.1.1.1) (Process ID 123)

Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Interface ID Interface

2.2.2.1 1 FULL/BDR 00:00:31 5 GigabitEthernet0/0/0
1.1.1.2 1 FULL/BDR 00:00:38 471 GigabitEthernet0/0/1

© 2020 - 2020 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public Page 11 of 20 www.netacad.com
Lab - Implement Multiarea OSPFv3

c. Now, issue the show ospfv3 neighbor command on R1. This is a command used for routers configured
for OSPFv3 with AF. Notice the output includes neighbors for both IPv4 and IPv6 address families.
R1# show ospfv3 neighbor

OSPFv3 123 address-family ipv4 (router-id 1.1.1.1)

Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Interface ID Interface

2.2.2.1 1 FULL/BDR 00:00:38 5 GigabitEthernet0/0/0

OSPFv3 123 address-family ipv6 (router-id 1.1.1.1)

Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Interface ID Interface

2.2.2.1 1 FULL/BDR 00:00:32 5 GigabitEthernet0/0/0
1.1.1.2 1 FULL/BDR 00:00:30 471 GigabitEthernet0/0/1

Traditional OSPFv3 commands are similar to those for OSPFv2, except ipv6 is used as an argument
instead of ip, for example show ip ospf neighbor and show ipv6 ospf neighbor. OSPFv3 with AF uses
the argument ospfv3 which includes both OSPF for IPv4 and IPv6 AFs. For example, show ospfv3
neighbor.
Traditional OSPFv3 commands can be used when a router is configured for OSPFv3 with AF, but the
OSPFv3 AF router will only show OSPF for IPv6 AF information. OSPFv3 with AF commands cannot be
used on routers configured with traditional OSPFv3.
To summarize the show command arguments:
• OSPFv2: Use show ip ospf (IPv4 only)
• Traditional OSPFv3: Use show ipv6 ospf (IPv6 only)
• OSPFv3 with AF: Use show ospfv3 (IPv4 and IPv6 AF) or show ipv6 ospf (IPv6 only)
Question:

Why does the show ipv6 ospf neighbor command only display OSPFv3 neighbors in the IPv6 AF?
Type your answers here.

Step 2: Examining the IP routing tables.

a. Use the show ipv6 route ospf command on D1 to display OSPFv3 routing entries in the IPv6 routing
table.

Question:

Display the routes using the show ip route ospf. Why are there no routes displayed using this
command?
Type your answers here.

b. Understanding the difference between commands associated with OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 can seem
challenging at times. The show ip route ospfv3 command is used to view OSPFv3 routes in the IPv4
routing table. The show ipv6 route ospf command is used to view OSPFv3 routes in the IPv6 routing
table. The show ipv6 route ospf command is the same command used with traditional OSPFv3 for IPv6.

Part 5: Tune OSPFv3

Step 1: Configuring a passive interface.
a. To configure a passive interface in traditional OSPFv3, use the passive-interface command in OSPFv3
router mode.
Open configuration window

D1(config)# ipv6 router ospf 123

D1(config-rtr)# passive-interface g1/0/23
b. To configure a passive interface in OSPFv3 with AF, you can use the passive-interface command in
OSPFv3 router mode to configure the passive interface for both IPv4 and IPv6 AFs.
D2(config)# router ospfv3 123
D2(config-router)# passive-interface g1/0/23
c. As an alternative, you can use the passive-interface command within AF configuration mode to
configure the passive interface for a specific AFs.
D2(config-router)# no passive-interface g1/0/23
D2(config-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast
D2(config-router-af)# passive-interface g1/0/23
D2(config-router-af)# exit-address-family
D2(config-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast
D2(config-router-af)# passive-interface g1/0/23
D2(config-router-af)# exit-address-family
Close configuration window

Step 2: Configuring summarization.

a. The area area range ipv6-summary-address command is used to summarize prefixes from one are into
another. The area is the area from which the prefixes are summarized.
Open configuration window

R1(config)# router ospfv3 123

R1(config-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast
R1(config-router-af)# area 1 range 2001:db8:acad:1000::/52

R3(config)# router ospfv3 123

R3(config-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast
R3(config-router-af)# area 2 range 2001:db8:acad:2000::/52

b. Notice that R2 is now receiving the summarized prefixes.

R2# show ipv6 route ospf
<output omitted>
OI 2001:DB8:ACAD:1000::/52 [110/3]
via FE80::1:2, GigabitEthernet0/0/0

via FE80::3:2, GigabitEthernet0/0/1
Question:

Why is prefix summarization considered desirable? How does it stabilize routing?

Type your answers here.

Close configuration window

Step 3: Modifying the network type.

a. OSPFv3 supports the same network types as OSPFv2. Notice that the Ethernet interfaces between R2
and R1, and R2 and R3, elect a DR and a BDR. This is because Ethernet is a multiaccess network.
However, these are point-to-point links and there is no need for a DR or BDR.
Open configuration window

R2# show ospfv3 interface brief

Interface PID Area AF Cost State Nbrs F/C
Gi0/0/1 123 0 ipv4 1 BDR 1/1
Gi0/0/0 123 0 ipv4 1 DR 1/1
Gi0/0/1 123 0 ipv6 1 BDR 1/1
Gi0/0/0 123 0 ipv6 1 DR 1/1

b. These connections can be changed to point-to-point using the ospfv3 network point-to-point interface
command. This command needs to be configured one both sides of the point to point interface.
R2(config)# interface g0/0/1
R2(config-if)# ospfv3 network point-to-point
R2(config-if)# exit
R2(config)# interface g0/0/0
R2(config-if)# ospfv3 network point-to-point

R1(config)# interface g0/0/0

R1(config-if)# ospfv3 network point-to-point

R3(config)# interface g0/0/0

R3(config-if)# ospfv3 network point-to-point
c. Notice that the links have now change to P2P.
R2# show ospfv3 interface brief
Interface PID Area AF Cost State Nbrs F/C
Gi0/0/1 123 0 ipv4 1 P2P 1/1
Gi0/0/0 123 0 ipv4 1 P2P 1/1
Gi0/0/1 123 0 ipv6 1 P2P 1/1
Gi0/0/0 123 0 ipv6 1 P2P 1/1
Question:

What is the effect on the state of the interface when changing a broadcast network to point-to-point?

Step 4: Advertising a default route.

a. Similar to OSPFv2, an ASBR in OSPFv3 advertises using the default-information command. Configure
a static default route for IPv4 and IPv6 on R2.
Note: Without a default route in the routing table, OSPF would require the default-information originate
Open configuration window
always command to advertise a default route.
R2(config)# ipv6 route ::/0 lo0
R2(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 lo0

R2(config)# router ospfv3 123

R2(config-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast
R2(config-router-af)# default-information originate
R2(config-router-af)# exit
R2(config-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast
R2(config-router-af)# default-information originate
R2(config-router-af)# exit
b. Verify D1 is receiving an IPv6 default route via OSPFv3.
D1# show ipv6 route ospf
<output omitted>

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many
interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router
class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device.
The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An
example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be
used in Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
