OSPF6 Area Configuration

To configure area-specific settings in OSPF6, start in config-ospf6 mode and use the area <area-id> command to enter config-ospf6-area mode.

Note

Currently OSPF6 only supports a single area, 0.0.0.0, but settings for that area are still configured using this command.

tnsr(config-ospf6)# area <area-id>
tnsr(config-ospf6-area)#

config-ospf6-area mode contains the following commands:

range <prefix> [cost <val>|not-advertise]:

Configure summarization of routes inside the given prefix. Instead of Type 1 (Router) and Type 2 (Network) LSAs, it creates Type 3 Summary LSAs instead.

cost <val>:

Apply the specified cost to summarized routes for this prefix.

not-advertise:

Disable advertisement for this prefix.
