Note:
z
Configure an OSPFv3 process ID when enabling OSPFv3. The process ID takes
effect locally, without affecting packet exchange between routers.
z
When configuring a router ID, make sure each router has a unique ID. If a router
runs multiple OSPFv3 processes, you need to specify a router ID for each process.
z
You need to specify a router ID manually, which is necessary to make OSPFv3
work.
3.4 Configuring OSPFv3 Area Parameters
The stub area and virtual link support of OSPFv3 has the same principle and
application environments with OSPFv2.
Splitting an OSPFv3 AS into multiple areas reduces the number of LSAs on networks
and extends OSPFv3 application. For those non-backbone areas residing on the AS
boundary, you can configure them as Stub areas to further reduce the size of routing
tables on routers in these areas and the number of LSAs.
Non-backbone areas exchange routing information via the backbone area. Therefore,
the backbone and non-backbone areas, including the backbone itself must maintain
connectivity. In practice, necessary physical links may not be available for connectivity.
You can configure virtual links to address it.
