Ospfv3 Commands - Dell MXL 10GbE Reference Manual

OSPFv3 Commands

Open shortest path first version 3 (OSPFv3) for IPv6 is supported on the MXL Switch platform.
The fundamental mechanisms of OSPF (flooding, DR election, area support, SPF calculations, and so on)
remain unchanged. However, OSPFv3 runs on a per-link basis instead of on a per-IP-subnet basis. Most
changes were necessary to handle the increased address size of IPv6.
The Dell Networking implementation of OSPFv3 is based on IETF RFC 2740.
area authentication
Configure an IPsec authentication policy for OSPFv3 packets in an OFSPFv3 area.
Syntax
area area-id authentication ipsec spi number {MD5 | SHA1} [key-
encryption-type] key
Parameters
area area-id
ipsec spi
number
MD5 | SHA1
key-
encryption-
type
key
Defaults Not configured.
Command ROUTER OSPFv3
Modes
Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv2 and OSPFv3)
Area for which OSPFv3 traffic is to be authenticated. For
area-id, you can enter a number.
The range is from 0 to 4294967295.
Security Policy index (SPI) value that identifies an IPsec
security policy.
The range is from 256 to 4294967295.
Authentication type: Message Digest 5 (MD5) or Secure Hash
Algorithm 1 (SHA-1).
(OPTIONAL) Specifies if the key is encrypted.
The values are 0 (key is not encrypted) or 7 (key is
encrypted).
Text string used in authentication.
For MD5 authentication, the key must be 32 hex digits (non-
encrypted) or 64 hex digits (encrypted).
For SHA-1 authentication, the key must be 40 hex digits
(non-encrypted) or 80 hex digits (encrypted).
