Our Ericsson SmartEdge routers were never meant to be deployed in the home or 
to support complete auto-configuration - I was just responding to Fred's query 
as to what OSPFv3 implementations do today. 
If there is no IPv4 address available and no OSPFv3 Router-ID is explicitly 
configured, we'll log an error and shut the OSPFv3 instance down until such 
time as an IPv4 address or explicit router-id are configured.
A new draft is required for OSPFv3 auto-configuration. 
Thanks,
Acee
