Enabling an OSPFv3 process
To enable an OSPFv3 process on a router, you must enable the OSPFv3 process globally, assign
the OSPFv3 process a router ID, and enable the OSPFv3 process on related interfaces.
A router ID uniquely identifies a router within an AS; therefore, specify a unique router ID for
each OSPFv3 router within the AS to ensure normal operation. Note that if a router runs multiple
OSPFv3 processes, specify a unique router ID for each process.
An OSPFv3 process ID has only local significance; therefore, process 1 on a router can exchange
packets with process 2 on another router.

Configuring OSPFv3 area parameters
The stub area and virtual link features of OSPFv3 are the same as OSPFv2.
Splitting an OSPFv3 AS into multiple areas reduces the number of LSAs and extends OSPFv3
applications. For those non-backbone areas residing on the AS boundary, configure them as stub
areas to further reduce the size of routing tables and the number of LSAs.
Non-backbone areas exchange routing information through the backbone area; therefore, the
backbone and non-backbone areas, including the backbone itself, must be contiguous. In
practice, necessary physical links may not be available for such connectivity. You can configure
virtual links to address the problem.
