Field Description
Transit Area ID Area ID of transit area for the virtual link.
Neighbor Router Router ID of the virtual neighbor.
Authentication none or simple (same as for normal interface).
Interface State The state of the virtual link to the virtual neighbor. The possible values are:
• DOWN – the routing switch has not yet found a route to the virtual neighbor.
• P2P – (point-to-point) the routing switch has found a route to the virtual neighbor. Virtual links
are “virtual” serial links, hence the point-to-point terminology.
Notice from the syntax statement that you can get OSPF virtual link informa-
tion for a specific area or a specific IP address.
