Variable definitions
Use the data in the following table to configure an OSPF VLAN interface.
Variable Value
Index The interface index of this OSPFv3 interface. The index
corresponds to the interface index of the IPv6 interface
where OSPFv3 is configured.
AreaId Dotted decimal value to designate the OSPF area name.
VLANs maintaining the default area setting on the interface
cause the LSDB to be inconsistent.
Important:
The area name is not related to an IPv6 address. You
can use any value for the OSPF area name (for
example, 1.1.1.1 or 200.200.200.200).
