Dell PowerEdge FN I/O Module Configuration Guide 9.10(0.0)

Specify process IDs and areas and include interfaces and addresses in the process. Define areas as stub or totally stubby.

The interfaces must be in IPv6 Layer-3 mode (assigned an IPv6 IP address) and enabled so that they can send and receive traffic. The OSPF process must know about these interfaces. To make the OSPF process aware of these interfaces, assign them to OSPF areas.

The OSPFv3 ipv6 ospf area command enables OSPFv3 on the interface and places the interface in an area. With OSPFv2, two commands are required to accomplish the same tasks — the router ospf command to create the OSPF process, then the network area command to enable OSPF on an interface.

All IPv6 addresses on an interface are included in the OSPFv3 process that is created on the interface.

Enable OSPFv3 for IPv6 by specifying an OSPF process ID and an area in INTERFACE mode. If you have not created an OSPFv3 process, it is created automatically. All IPv6 addresses configured on the interface are included in the specified OSPF process.

Set the time interval between when the switch receives a topology change and starts a shortest path first (SPF) calculation
