OSPFv3 Commands

default to point-to-point. When an Ethernet port is used as a single large 

bandwidth IP network between two routers, the network type can be point-to-

point since there are only two routers. Using point-to-point as the network 

type eliminates the overhead of the OSPF designated router election. It is 

normally not useful to set a tunnel to OSPF network type broadcast.

ipv6 ospf network { broadcast | point-to-point }
no ipv6 ospf network

• broadcast — The network type is broadcast.
•

point-to-point — The network type is point-to-point.

Broadcast is the default state.

Interface Configuration (VLAN, Tunnel, Loopback) mode

This command has no user guidelines.

The following example changes the default OSPF network type to point-to-

point.

console(config)#interface vlan 15

console(config-if-vlan15)#ipv6 ospf network point-to-

point

Use the ipv6 ospf priority command in Interface Configuration mode to set 

the OSPF priority for the specified router interface.
