What command allows you to set the maximum load balancing paths in OSPF for IPv6?

maximum-ospf-paths MAXIMUM LOAD BALANCING PATHS
ipv6 router ospf PROCESS NUMBER
maximum-paths MAXIMUM LOAD BALANCING PATHS
set ospf paths MAXIMUM LOAD BALANCING PATHS

The correct answer is: maximum-paths MAXIMUM LOAD BALANCING PATHS

The command that enables you to set the maximum load balancing paths in OSPF for IPv6 is indeed the one that begins with "maximum-paths." This command is used in OSPF configurations to define how many equal-cost paths can be utilized for routing packets. By default, OSPF typically allows for a limited number of paths to balance link usage efficiently. In an OSPF environment, when you have multiple paths to reach the same destination with equal cost, enabling additional paths is crucial for better resource utilization and redundancy. The "maximum-paths" command specifies the number of equal-cost paths that OSPF can use, allowing for enhanced load balancing across those paths. Other options do not correctly represent the command syntax or the context of OSPF settings. For example, "maximum-ospf-paths" is not a recognized command in Cisco IOS for configuring OSPF, and options like "ipv6 router ospf" and "set ospf paths" either refer to enabling OSPF or are incorrectly formatted commands that do not relate to the specific task of setting maximum load balancing paths. Thus, selecting "maximum-paths" is the appropriate choice for configuring OSPF load balancing for IPv6.
