Configuring the Network Type for an OSPFv3 Interface

OSPFv3 classifies networks into broadcast, P2P, P2MP, and NBMA networks based on link layer protocols. By configuring network types for interfaces, you can change the network types of interfaces.

Context

By default, the network type of an interface depends on the physical interface. The network type of Ethernet interfaces is broadcast.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run interface interface-type interface-number

    The interface view is displayed.

  3. Run ospfv3 network-type { broadcast | nbma | p2mp [ non-broadcast ] | p2p } [ instance instance-id ]

    The network type is configured for the OSPFv3 interface.

    The network types of two OSPFv3 interfaces at both ends of a link must be identical. Otherwise, the OSPFv3 neighbor relationship cannot be established.

  4. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
