Basic OSPFv3 configuration

Basic OSPFv3 configuration

As soon as OSPFv3 is enabled on Stub Router, it starts to send out OSPFv3 Type 1 Hello messages to FF02::5 multicast address. Once it receives Hello packets from ABR1 router, they negotiate Master/Slave relationship and then starts to send DBD packets.

Once the DBD packets are exchanged, the routers send Link-State Request (LS REQ) and Link-State Update (LS UPD) messages to build their LSDB. After successive LS REQ and LS UPD message, and when the state reaches FULL, the routers continue to exchange Hello packets.

The LSAs carry Options field which has the following bits here-

V6 bit- indicates whether the router/link should be used in routing calculation.

R bit- It is the "Router bit". It indicates whether the originator is an active router.

DC bit- indicates the router's handling of Demand Circuit

The following command shows that Link LSAs carry link-specific addresses.
