OSPF version 3 (OSPFv6) is a routing protocol which is described in RFC 2740.
OSPFv6 is for IPv6 only.
It is not implemented completely and might lack some features.

You can find the OSPFv6 Settings at **Routing → OSPFv6**.

You can set a **Router ID** that is advertised or let the system configure one automaticlly.

**Main Area** the main Area of this OSPF instance.

**Redistribute Kernel Routes** lets OSPFv6 automatically distribute Kernel Routes.

**Redistribute Static Routes** lets OSPFv6 automatically distribute Static Routes.

**Redistribute Connected Routes** lets OSPFv6 automatically distribute Connected Routes.

Please be aware that VT AIR static routes are classified as kernel routes.

**Networks** let you specify which interface will be advertised if it is in that network.
Please be aware that OSPFv6 only advertises networks, that the host system has an IP address in.
You can not advertise random networks.

**Custom Options** can be used for custom configuration parameters for the config.
