Solved ipv6 router or router ospfv3?

---

Hello ITProTV! I just spotted a command in IOS as I am prepping for my CCNA exam and wanted to run it by you..

It seems that after enabling IPv6 routing with "ipv6 unicast-routing" you can start a new IPv6 ospf process by typing either of the following. Is one more correct than another when it comes to the test?

ipv6 router ospf <n>

router ospfv3 <n>

I notice when issuing a command "show run" to review the configration, each statement above shows as it was typed. It doesn't automatically convert what I think is the older command "ipv6 router ospf" to router ospfv3 for example.

@Adam-Tyler,

I do not think one is more correct that the other...except that I've never seen the `router ospfv3 <process_id> on the CCNA level exam. It may be that they are trying to make it more akin to the previous method that most are familiar with when doing the router configuration.

It's ironic since OSPFv3 doesn't the router config for much more than the router-id and of course additional tweaks...like passive-interfaces...etc.
