Autoroute Announce and Forwarding Adjacencies For OSPFv3

The Autoroute Announce and Forwarding Adjacencies for OSPFv3 feature advertises IPv6 routes over MPLS/TE IPv4 tunnels. This module describes how to configure the Autoroute Announce and Forwarding Adjacencies for OSPFv3 feature.

Prerequisites for Autoroute Announce and Forwarding Adjacencies For OSPFv3

  • OSPFv3 must be configured in your network.
  • Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) must be enabled.
  • MPLS/TE tunnels must be configured.

Restrictions for Autoroute Announce and Forwarding Adjacencies For OSPFv3

  • Autoroute announce and forwarding adjacency cannot be configured together in a same interface.

  • When an autoroute announce is used, OSPFv3 does not advertise the tunnel.

  • When forwarding adjacencies are used, OSPFv3 advertises the tunnel link in an LSA.

Overview of Autoroute Announce and Forwarding Adjacencies For OSPFv3

The OSPFv3 support for Forwarding Adjacencies over MPLS Traffic Engineered Tunnels feature adds OSPFv3 support to the Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Traffic Engineering (TE) tunnels feature, which allows a network administrator to handle a traffic engineering, MPLS tunnel as a link in an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) network based on the shortest path first (SPF) algorithm. An OSPFv3 forwarding adjacency can be created between routers in the same area.

OSPFv3 includes MPLS TE tunnels in the OSPFv3 router link-state advertisement (LSA) in the same way that other links appear for purposes of routing and forwarding traffic. The user can assign an OSPFv3 cost to the tunnel to give it precedence over other links. Other networking devices will see the tunnel as a link in addition to the physical link.

OSPFv3 uses Autoroute Announce (AA) or Forwarding Adjacencies (FA) feature to install IPv6 routes over MPLS/TE IPv4 tunnels into the IPv6 routing table . The TE tunnels are created using IPv4, and requires the use of a routing protocol other than OSPFv3. OSPFv2 is used as the IPv4 IGP and provides data which TE uses to create the tunnels.

OSPFv3 is configured on the TE tunnel interfaces for either autoroute-annouce or forwarding-adjacency. It is also must be configured in router mode to advertise the address of the loopback interface which TE is using for the tunnels that terminate on the router. That address is advertised in the TE LSA .
