If you specify a router ID when you create an OSPF process, any two routers in an AS must have
different router IDs. A common practice is to specify the IP address of an interface as the router ID.
If you specify no router ID when you create the OSPF process, the global router ID is used. HP
recommends specifying a router ID when you create the OSPF process.
OSPF can run multiple processes and supports VPNs:
To run multiple OSPF processes, you must specify an ID for each process. The process IDs take effect
locally and has no influence on packet exchange between routers. Two routers with different
process IDs can exchange packets.
VPN support enables an OSPF process to run in a specified VPN. For more information about VPN,
