Description By specifying different process IDs, you can run multiple OSPF processes on the same
router. In this case, you are recommended to use router-id to specify different Router
IDs for those processes.
After enabling OSPF protocol, the user can make the corresponding configuration in
OSPF view.
If you use OSPF as the VPN interior routing protocol of the MPLS VPN solution, the
OSPF process must be bound with the VPN instance. For more details, refer to the
“VPN” section of this manual.
