OL-14356-01
• Establishes a neighbor relationship with the corresponding multi-area interface on the neighboring
router. A mixture of multi-area and primary interfaces is not supported.
• Advertises an unnumbered point-to-point link in the router link state advertisement (LSA) for the
corresponding area when the neighbor state is full.
• Created as a point-to-point network type and is not configurable.
• Created only on native point-to-point interfaces, such as Packet-over-SONET (PoS) or serial.
• Inherits the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) characteristics from its primary interface.
BFD is not configurable under a multi-area interface; however, it is configurable under the primary
interface.
The multi-area interface inherits the interface characteristics from its primary interface, but some
interface characteristics can be configured under the multi-area interface configuration mode as shown
below:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf-ar)# multi-area-interface POS 0/1/0/3
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf-ar-mif)# ?

Label Distribution Protocol IGP Auto-configuration for OSPF
Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) auto-configuration simplifies the
procedure to enable LDP on a set of interfaces used by an IGP instance, such as OSPF. LDP IGP
auto-configuration can be used on a large number of interfaces (for example, when LDP is used for
transport in the core) and on multiple OSPF instances simultaneously.
This feature supports the IPv4 unicast address family for the default VPN routing and forwarding (VRF)
instance.
LDP IGP auto-configuration can also be explicitly disabled on an individual interface basis under LDP
using the igp auto-config disable command. This allows LDP to receive all OSPF interfaces minus the
ones explicitly disabled.
See Cisco IOS XR Multiprotocol Label Switching Configuration Guide for information on configuring
LDP IGP auto-configuration.
