Configure the Network Type

You can specify the OSPF network type to be broadcast, non-broadcast, point-to-multipoint, or point-to-point. The default value is broadcast. The OSPF network type can be configured to a type other than the default for a given media.

This example configures the network type for VLAN 10 as point-to-point, meaning that it is a network that joins a single pair of routers.

1. Configure the network type through the CLI.

   SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 10
   SEFOS(config-if)# ipv6 ospf network point-to-point
   SEFOS(config-if)# end
   

2. View the configuration.

   SEFOS# show ipv6 ospf interface vlan 10
