Detailed explanation-2: -Sure, this is possible, depending on the router model and software. OSPFv2 is for IPv4 only and OSPFv3 for both IPv4 and IPv6. There are however differences in the implementation of both protocols (as these are two completely independent protocols), depending on the vendor and sometimes even on the model.
