Manage OSPFv3 configuration
Also, OSPF for IP version 4, Mantychore supports the configuration of OSPF for IP version 6 (OSPFv3).
For this IGP configuration, press right-click to a available router. It will give the possibility to activate or deactivate a OSPF configuration. In this point, press double click to "OSPF Activation Action"
In the new dialog, an user will be able to configure different areas (it is formed for a set of interfaces), and different configuration parameters.
After configuring different areas, it is necessary to specify how routers destribute their protocols. After this, the OSPFv3 configuration will be enabled.
