Suppressing an Interface from Sending and Receiving OSPFv3 Packets

Context

To prevent a switch from advertising routes to the switch on a certain network and from importing the routes of other switches, suppress the interface on which OSPFv3 is enabled from receiving and sending OSPFv3 packets.

Perform the following operations on the switch that runs OSPFv3.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run ospfv3 [ process-id ]

    The OSPFv3 view is displayed.

  3. Run silent-interface { all | interface-type interface-number }

    The interface is suppressed from sending and receiving OSPFv3 packets.

Follow-up Procedure

Different processes can suppress the same interface from sending and receiving OSPFv3 packets, but the silent-interface command is valid only for the OSPFv3 interface on which the specified process is enabled. It does not take effect on the interface of other processes.

After an OSPFv3 interface is set to silent, the interface can still advertise its direct routes using the Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA of the same switch. No OSPFv3 neighbor relationship can be set up on the interface. This enhances OSPFv3 adaptability.
