Configuring the Open Shortest Path First v3 (OSPFv3) protocol requires configuring the first three settings in the following table (BFD is optional):

OSPFv3 Settings	Description
Enable	Select to enable the OSPF protocol.
Reject Default Route	Select if you do not want to learn any default routes through OSPF.
Router ID	Specify the router ID associated with the OSPF instance in this virtual router. The OSPF protocol uses the router ID to uniquely identify the OSPF instance.

•	Areas: See OSPFv3 Areas Tab.
