OSPF v3

    OSPFv3 is the OSPFv2 equivalent for exchanging IPv6 prefixes.

Note: With the OSPFv3 Address Families feature, OSPFv3 includes support for both IPv4 and IPv6.

OSPFv3 and v2 Differences:

 

>Protocol processing per-link, not per-subnet, issue the ipv6 ospf

>Removal of addressing semantics

>Addition of Flooding scope

>Explicit support for multiple instances per link

>Use of IPv6 link-local addresses

>Authentication method changes: IPsec

>Packet format, LSA’s header format changes

>Handling of unknown LSA types

Link_local addresses

1. Purpose: Routers only need to send and receive routing protocol messages with their directly connected neighbors. IPv6 link-local addresses are ideal for this purpose. An IPv6 link-local address enables a device to communicate with other IPv6-enabled devices on the same link and only on that link (subnet). Packets with a source or destination link-local address cannot be routed beyond the link from where the packet originated.

2. Range: FE80 to FEBF

3. Configuration: Link-local addresses can be configured manually using the same interface command used to create IPv6 global unicast addresses, but appending the link-local keyword to the ipv6 address command.

  r1(config-if)#ipv6 address fe80::1 link-local

Configure OSPFv3

1. Syntax: r1(config-if)# ipv6 router ospf process-id

Note: issue it in the interface configuration mode.

2. OSPFv3 requires a 32-bit router ID to be assigned before OSPF can be enabled on an interface.

   r1(config-router)# router-id rid

3.  Modify OSPFv3 router ID: same as v2

4. * Enable OSPFv3 on an interface: r1(config-if)# ipv6 ospf process-id area area-id

       The process-id value identifies the specific routing process and must be the same as the process ID used to create the routing process in the ipv6 router ospf process-id command.

Verify the OSPFv3

Similar to OSPFv2, change the ip to ipv6. check here.
