â—† Use the area default-cost command to specify the cost of a default summary
route sent into a stub by an ABR attached to the stub area.
Example
This example creates a stub area 2, and makes it totally stubby by blocking all Type
3 summary LSAs.
Console(config-router)#area 2 stub no-summary
Console(config-router)#

area virtual-link This command defines a virtual link. To remove a virtual link, use the no form with
no optional keywords. To restore the default value for an attribute, use the no form
with the required keyword.vvvv
Syntax

[retransmit-interval seconds] [transmit-delay seconds]
no area area-id virtual-link router-id
[dead-interval | hello-interval | retransmit-interval | transmit-delay]
area-id - Identifies the transit area for the virtual link.The area ID can be in
the form of an IPv4 address or as a four octet unsigned integer ranging
from 0-4294967295.
router-id - Router ID of the virtual link neighbor. This specifies the Area
Border Router (ABR) at the other end of the virtual link. To create a virtual
link, enter this command for an ABR at both ends of the link. One of the
ABRs must be next to the isolated area and the transit area at one end of
the link, while the other ABR must be next to the transit area and backbone
at the other end of the link.
dead-interval seconds - Specifies the time that neighbor routers will wait
for a hello packet before they declare the router down. This value must be
the same for all routers attached to an autonomous system. (Range: 1-
65535 seconds; Default: 4 x hello interval, or 40 seconds)
hello-interval seconds - Specifies the transmit delay between sending
hello packets. Setting the hello interval to a smaller value can reduce the
delay in detecting topological changes, but will increase the routing traffic.
This value must be the same for all routers attached to an autonomous
system. (Range: 1-65535 seconds; Default: 10 seconds)
retransmit-interval seconds - Specifies the interval at which the ABR
retransmits link-state advertisements (LSA) over the virtual link. The
retransmit interval should be set to a conservative value that provides an
