Hi everyone,

I am trying to practice ospfv3 for ipv4 on Junos vLAB but ospf3 neighbors are coming up.

jcluser@vMX1# show protocols | display set 
set protocols ospf3 realm ipv4-unicast area 0.0.0.1 interface ge-0/0/0.0
set protocols ospf3 area 0.0.0.1 interface ge-0/0/0.0

jcluser@vMX1# show interfaces ge-0/0/0 | display set 
set interfaces ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family inet address 10.100.12.1/24

jcluser@vMX2# show protocols ospf3 | display set 
set protocols ospf3 realm ipv4-unicast area 0.0.0.10 interface ge-0/0/0.0
set protocols ospf3 area 0.0.0.10 interface ge-0/0/0.0

r@vMX2# show interfaces ge-0/0/0 | display set 
set interfaces ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family inet address 10.100.12.2/24

What am I missing here?

Much appreciated!!

Be kind!!

It appears we need to enable family inet6 on the interfaces for ospf3 to start sending hellos, which are sourced from ipv6 addresses.

Minimum config to bring ospf3 neighbors up for realm ipv4-unicast:

MX1:

MX1:

set protocols ospf3 realm ipv4-unicast area 0.0.0.0 interface ge-0/0/0.0

set interfaces ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family inet address 10.10.10.1/24
set interfaces ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family inet6

MX2:

set protocols ospf3 realm ipv4-unicast area 0.0.0.0 interface ge-0/0/0.0

set interfaces ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family inet address 10.10.10.2/24
set interfaces ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family inet6
