To use the OSPFv3 dynamic routing protocol with Fireware, you must type OSPFv3 configuration commands or import a configuration file on the Network > Dynamic Routing page.
This topic includes a sample configuration file for Free Range Routing (FRR), which is the routing daemon in Fireware v12.9 or higher. To use this configuration file as a starting point for your OSPFv3 configuration, copy the text into a text editor application and edit the parameters to meet your business requirements.
For information about OSPFv3 requirements and how to configure BGP, go to Configure IPv6 Routing with OSPFv3.
For a list of OSPFv3 commands, go to OSPFv3 Commands (FRR).
In Fireware v12.8.x or lower, Fireware uses the Quagga routing engine. For a sample routing configuration file for Fireware v12.8.x or lower, go to Sample OSPFv3 Routing Configuration File (Quagga). For a list of Quagga commands, go to OSPFv3 Commands (Quagga).
The OSPFv3 area, access-list, and default-information originate commands are not supported.
Example OSPFv3 Commands (FRR in Fireware v12.9 or Higher)
This list includes example FRR commands that you might include in your OSPFv3 configuration. For a complete list of FRR commands, go to the FRRouting User Guide.
The sections must appear in the configuration file in the same order they appear in this table.
| Section | Command | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Configure Interface Properties |
||
| interface eth[N] | Begin section to set properties for interface | |
| ipv6 ospf6 cost [1-65535] | Set link cost for the interface (go to OSPF Interface Cost Table) | |
| ipv6 ospf6 dead-interval [1-65535] | Set interval after last hello from a neighbor before declaring it down; default is 40 seconds | |
| ipv6 ospf6 hello-interval [1-65535] | Set interval to send hello packets; default is 10 seconds | |
| ipv6 ospf6 passive | Disable OSPF announcement for the interface | |
| ipv6 ospf6 priority [0-255] | Set the router priority for the interface. A high value increases eligibility to become the designated router (DR). Default value is 1. | |
| ipv6 ospf6 retransmit-interval [1-65535] | Set interval between link-state advertisements (LSA) retransmissions; default is 5 seconds | |
| ipv6 ospf6 transmit-delay [1-3600] | Set time required to send LSA update; default is 1 second | |

router ospf6 |
Enable OSPF6 daemon | |
| ospf6 router-id [A.B.C.D] |
Set router ID for OSPF6 manually; router determines its own ID if not set. If your configuration includes the Quagga command router-id [A.B.C.D], this command automatically converts to the FRR command ospf6 router-id [A.B.C.D] if you upgrade from Fireware v12.8.x or lower to Fireware v12.9 or higher. |
|
| redistribute connected | Redistribute routes from all interfaces to OSPFv3 | |
| redistribute connected route-map [MAPNAME] |
Redistribute routes from all interfaces to OSPFv3, with a route map filter (mapname) |
|
| redistribute static | Redistribute firewall static routes to OSPFv3 | |
| redistribute ripng | ||
| redistribute bgp | ||
| default-information originate | Share route of last resort (default route) with OSPF | |
| default-information originate metric [0-16777214] | Share route of last resort (default route) with OSPF, and add a metric used to generate the default route | |
| default-information originate always | Always share the route of last resort (default route) | |
| default-information originate always metric [0-16777214] | Always share the route of last resort (default route), and add a metric used to generate the default route | |
| Set OSPF Network and Area Properties | ||
| interface eth[N] area [W.X.Y.Z] | Bind interface to area and send OSPFv3 packets. The area variable can be typed in two formats: [W.X.Y.Z]; or as an integer [Z]. | |
| Redistribute OSPF Routes | ||
| Configure Route Redistribution with Access Lists and Route Maps | ||
| ipv6 prefix-list [LISTNAME] [PERMIT|DENY] [A,B,C,D/M | ANY] | Create a prefix list to allow or deny route redistribution | |
| route-map [MAPNAME] permit [N] | Create a route map with name [MAPNAME] and allow with a priority of [N] | |
| match ipv6 address prefix-list [LISTNAME] |
Match the specified prefix-list |
|
| Enable SNMP Queries (Fireware v12.10 and higher) | ||
| agentx | Enable SNMP queries for dynamic routing. SNMP queries can result in high CPU usage if there is a large number of routes. OID .1.3.6.1.2.1.14 |
