Removing router-id overlap

If the vRouter detects that multiple OSPF or OSPFv3 processes that are running in a routing instance have the same router ID, the vRouter sends router-id overlap notifications to syslog. The vRouter also displays router-id overlap notifications in the output of the show ip ospf and show ipv6 ospfv3 commands.

In the following example, the lines that start with the "**" characters indicate an overlap in the router IDs that were allocated by the vRouter.

To remove router-id overlap, use the set protocols ospf parameters router-id and set protocols ospfv3 router-id commands to configure unique router IDs for OSPF and OSPFv3 processes, respectively.
