When creating Confederations, all the routers in the Confederation must be 4- or
2-byte identified routers. You cannot mix them.
Where the 2-Byte format is from 1 to 65535, the 4-Byte format is from 1 to
4294967295. Both formats are accepted, and the advertisements reflect the
entered format.
For more information about using the 2- or 4-Byte format, refer to the
