OSPFv3 Commands

Fireware uses the Quagga routing software suite v0.99.18, which supports most routing commands available in more recent versions of Quagga. For more information about Quagga commands, see Quagga Routing Suite Documentation.

To create or modify a routing configuration file, you must use the correct routing commands. This list includes some of the supported routing commands for OSPFv3. The sections must appear in the configuration file in the same order they appear in this list. You can also use the sample text found in the Sample OSPFv3 Routing Configuration File.

The OSPFv3 area, access-list, and default-information originate commands are not supported.
