Configuring OSPFv3 over Frame Relay

Configuring OSPFv3 over Frame Relay

In IPv4 Frame Relay networks, you are acceptable to be accustomed with mapping IP addresses to DLCI numbers.

The agreement of frame-relay map statements is abundant the aforementioned in IPv6, but there is a twist: It requires

two map statements instead of aloof one. One map account credibility to the link-local address, and the other

points to the unicast abode of the next-hop interface. Alone the link-local mapping account requires the

broadcast keyword (which absolutely permits multicast, as there is no such affair as advertisement in IPv6). In

Example 20-8, the far-end interface’s IPv6 unicast abode is 2001::207:85FF:FE80:7208 and its linklocal

address is FE80::207:85FF:FE80:7208. The DLCI cardinal is 708.

If you configure alone the link-local mapping, OSPFv3 will be happy; the neighbors will appear up,

the routers will become absolutely adjacent, and their acquisition tables will absolutely populate. However, when

you try to accelerate IPv6 cartage to a arrangement beyond the Frame Relay cloud, it will abort because of Frame

Relay encapsulation failures.

Example 20-8 Frame Relay Mapping for IPv6

frame-relay map ipv6 FE80::207:85FF:FE80:7208 708 broadcast

frame-relay map ipv6 2001::207:85FF:FE80:7208 708

Of course, if you are able to use Inverse ARP, this affair does not appulse your configuration. Inverse

ARP works for IPv6 as it does for IPv4 and supports all configured IPv6 addresses on an interface.
