Supported OSPF and OSPFv3 Standards

Junos OS substantially supports the following RFCs and Internet drafts, which define standards for OSPF and OSPF version 3 (OSPFv3).

  • RFC 1583, OSPF Version 2
  • RFC 1765, OSPF Database Overflow
  • RFC 1793, Extending OSPF to Support Demand Circuits
  • RFC 2154, OSPF with Digital Signatures
  • RFC 2328, OSPF Version 2
  • RFC 2370, The OSPF Opaque LSA Option

    Support is provided by the update-threshold configuration statement at the [edit protocols rsvp interface interface-name ] hierarchy level.

  • RFC 2740, OSPF for IPv6 (partial support for RFC 5340)

    Junos OS does not support the following components of RFC 5340:

    • Multiple interfaces on the same link
    • Deprecation of Multicast Extensions to OSPF (MOSPF) for IPv6
    • Not-so-stubby area (NSSA) specification
    • Link LSA suppression
    • LSA options and prefix options updates
    • IPv6 site-local addresses
  • RFC 3101, The OSPF Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA) Option
  • RFC 3623, Graceful OSPF Restart
  • RFC 3630, Traffic Engineering (TE) Extensions to OSPF Version 2
  • RFC 4136, OSPF Refresh and Flooding Reduction in Stable Topologies
  • RFC 4203, OSPF Extensions in Support of Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS)

    Only interface switching is supported.

  • RFC 4552, Authentication/Confidentiality for OSPFv3
  • RFC 4576, Using a Link State Advertisement (LSA) Options Bit to Prevent Looping in BGP/MPLS IP Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
  • RFC 4577, OSPF as the Provider/Customer Edge Protocol for BGP/MPLS IP Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
  • RFC 4811, OSPF Out-of-Band Link State Database (LSDB) Resynchronization
  • RFC 4812, OSPF Restart Signaling
  • RFC 4813, OSPF Link-Local Signaling
  • RFC 4915, Multi-Topology (MT) Routing in OSPF
  • RFC 5185, OSPF Multi-Area Adjacency
  • RFC 5187, OSPFv3 Graceful Restart
  • RFC 5286, Basic Specification for IP Fast Reroute: Loop-Free Alternates
  • RFC 5838, Support of Address Families in OSPFv3
  • Internet draft draft-ietf-ospf-af-alt-10.txt, Support of address families in OSPFv3
  • Internet draft draft-katz-ward-bfd-02.txt, Bidirectional Forwarding Detection

    Transmission of echo packets is not supported.

The following RFCs do not define standards, but provide information about OSPF and related technologies. The IETF classifies them as “Informational.”

  • RFC 3137, OSPF Stub Router Advertisement
  • RFC 3509, Alternative Implementations of OSPF Area Border Routers
  • RFC 5309, Point-to-Point Operation over LAN in Link State Routing Protocols
