Cisco 3550 Not Able to Configure IPv6 OSPF

ashish
Level 1
Level 1

Frnds,

I am using 3550 with  c3550-ipservicesk9-mz.122-44.SE6.bin. Have successfully run ipv6  commands on global and interface, however getting below error while  configuring "ipv6 router ospf 1" :

SW1(config)#ipv6 router ospf 1
% Failed to create routing protocol ospf


Command syntax help says its configurable but its not configuring ipv6 OSPF.

SW1(config)#ipv6 router ?     
   eigrp  Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)
  ospf   Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
   rip    IPv6 Routing Information Protocol (RIPv6)

pls suggest.

Hi,

have you entered ipv6 unicast-routing ?

yes, following commands are already running:

SW1(config)#ipv6 unicast-routing

SW1(config)#int vlan 1

SW1(config-if)#ipv6 address abc::/64 eui-64

and check this:

W1(config-if)#ipv6 ?

IPv6 interface subcommands:

  address            Configure IPv6 address on interface

  authentication     authentication subcommands

  bandwidth-percent  Set EIGRP bandwidth limit

  eigrp              Configure EIGRP IPv6 on interface

  enable             Enable IPv6 on interface

  hello-interval     Configures EIGRP-IPv6 hello interval

  hold-time          Configures EIGRP-IPv6 hold time

  mtu                Set IPv6 Maximum Transmission Unit

  nd                 IPv6 interface Neighbor Discovery subcommands

  next-hop-self      Configures EIGRP-IPv6 next-hop-self

  policy             Enable IPv6 policy routing

  redirects          Enable sending of ICMP Redirect messages

rip                Configure RIP routing protocol

  split-horizon      Perform split horizon

  summary-address    Summary prefix

  traffic-filter     Access control list for packets

  unnumbered         Preferred interface for source address selection

  verify             Enable per packet validation

Note: OSPF is missing here

But:

SW1(config)#ipv6 router ?   

  eigrp  Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)

  ospf   Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)

  rip    IPv6 Routing Information Protocol (RIPv6)

However: 

SW1(config)#ipv6 router ospf 1

% Failed to create routing protocol ospf

Hi,

if you can't enable OSPFv3 on an interface then it  means that it is not supported.

Regards.
