Usage Guidelines

The FA in an OSPFv3 Type 5 or Type 7 LSA is used to notify the devices in the local routing domain of the shortcut next hop to the AS external network described in the LSA. This prevents internal devices from routing packets to themselves as the next hop before forwarding the packets to the devices in the external routing domain on the same broadcast network.

To enable the OSPFv3 FA function, run the lsa-forwarding-address { standard | zero-translate } command.
