Overview
31-2 OSPFv3 Configuration
LSA formats are changed, and the type 3 and 4 summary LSAs are renamed “inter-area-prefix” 
and “inter-area-router” LSAs. Also note that OSPFv3 LSA identifiers contain no addressing 
semantics. LSA scope is generalized to link, area, and AS scope. OSPFv3 specifies the processing 
of unsupported LSAs. Unsupported LSAs are maintained in the database and flooded according 
to scope. In OSPFv3, routers with 100 or more interfaces generate more than one router LSA. A 
new link LSA has been created. Addresses in LSAs are specified as [prefix, prefix length].
Area ID and Router ID remain 32 bit identifiers. OSPFv3 identifies Neighbors by router ID instead 
of the interface address used in OSPFv2.
Note that both OSPFv3 and OSPFv2 can be enabled and run on the Enterasys C3.
