When multiple OSPF protocol instances are active on the same links, they
should use different instance IDs to distinguish their packets. Although
it could be done on per-interface basis, it is often preferred to set
one instance ID to whole OSPF domain/topology (e.g., when multiple
instances are used to represent separate logical topologies on the same
- physical network). This option specifies the default instance ID for all
