OSPFv3 areas

After OSPFv3 is enabled, you can assign OSPFv3 areas. You can specify the area id in plain number format , such as "area 1", or in ipv4 address format, such as 10.1.1.1. Each device interface can support one area.

Note

Note

You can assign only one area on a device interface.

You are required to configure a router ID when running only IPv6 routing protocols.

Note

By default, the router ID is the IPv4 address configured on the lowest-numbered loopback interface. If the device does not have a loopback interface, the default router ID is the highest-numbered IPv4 address configured on the device. You can also configure router id using the ip router-id command.
