Configuring OSPFv3 on routing instances

An example of configuring OSPFv3 on routing instances and the related commands.

This example shows how to configure OSPFv3 on routing instances.

Initially all of the interfaces for the R1 vRouter (dp0s9, dp0s10, and dp0s11) are bound to the default routing instance. This example shows how to modify the configuration as illustrated in the following figure. In the figure, dp0s9 is bound the default routing instance, dp0s10 is bound to the RED routing instance, and dp0s11 is bound to the BLUE routing instance.

Codes: S - State, L - Link, u - Up, D - Down, A - Admin Down
Interface        IP Address                        S/L  Description
---------        ----------                        ---  -----------

dp0s11           30.1.1.1/24                       u/u

Move dp0s10 to the RED routing instance and dp0s11 to the BLUE routing instance.

vyatta@R1# set routing routing-instance RED interface dp0s10
vyatta@R1# set routing routing-instance BLUE interface dp0s11

---------------------

Routing Instance RED
--------------------
dp0s10           20.1.1.1/24                       u/u

Create OSPFv3 processes:

  • Under the default routing instance toward R2 (as a non-default OSPFv3 process in the default routing instance).
  • Under the RED routing instance toward R3.
  • Under the BLUE routing instance toward R4.
vyatta@R1# set protocols ospfv3 process 1 router-id 1.1.1.1
vyatta@R1# set routing routing-instance RED protocols ospfv3 process 2 router-id 2.2.2.2
vyatta@R1# set routing routing-instance BLUE protocols ospfv3 process 3 router-id 3.3.3.3

Enable OSPFv3 on dp0s9, dp0s10, and dp0s11.

vyatta@R1# set interfaces dataplane dp0s9 ipv6 ospfv3 process 1 instance-id 0 area 0
vyatta@R1# set interfaces dataplane dp0s10 ipv6 ospfv3 process 2 instance-id 0 area 0
vyatta@R1# set interfaces dataplane dp0s11 ipv6 ospfv3 process 3 instance-id 0 area 0
