6. Use one of the following methods to select an interface:
• In the Go To Interface field, enter the interface in the unit/slot/port format and click on
the Go button.
• Next to the Interface column, select the check box for the interface that you want to
configure.
7. In the Area ID field, enter the 32-bit integer in dotted-decimal format that uniquely identifies
the OSPFv3 area to which the selected router interface connects.
If you assign an area ID that does not exist, the area is created with default values.
8. Configure the Admin Mode by selecting the Enable or Disable option from the list.
The default value is Disable. You can configure OSPFv3 parameters without enabling
OSPFv3 admin mode, but the settings do not take effect until you enable admin mode.
The following information is displayed only if admin mode is enabled:
• State
• Designated router
• Backup designated router
• Number of link events
• LSA Ack interval
• Metric cost
For OSPFv3 to be fully functional, you must enter a valid IPv6 prefix/prefix length. This
can be done using the CLI IPv6 address command.
Note: Once OSPFv3 is initialized on the router, it remains initialized until the
router is reset.
