This command binds an OSPF area to the selected interface and process. Use the
no form to remove the specified area from an interface.
[ no ] ipv6 router ospf tag process-name area area-id [ instance-id instance-id ]
area-id - Area to bind to the current Layer 3 interface. An OSPF area
identifies a group of routers that share common routing information.
The area ID can be in the form of an IPv4 address or as a four octet unsigned
integer ranging from 0-4294967295.
process-name - A process name used to distinguish between multiple
routing instances configured on the local router. (Range: Alphanumeric
string up to 16 characters)
instance-id - Identifies a specific OSPFv3 routing process on the link-local
network segment attached to this interface. (Range: 0-255)

Default Setting

Command Usage
◆
An area ID uniquely defines an OSPF broadcast area. The area ID 0.0.0.0
indicates the OSPF backbone for an autonomous system. Each router must be
connected to the backbone via a direct connection or a virtual link.
◆
Set the area ID to the same value for all routers on a network segment.
◆
The process-name is only used on the local router to distinguish between
different routing processes (and must be configured with the router ipv6 ospf
command before using it in this command.
◆
The instance-id is used on the link-local network segment to distinguish
between different routing processes running on the same link, and allows
routers participating in a common routing process to form adjacencies and
exchange routing information.
◆
The backbone (area 0.0.0.0) must be created before any other area.
