Parameter
route-id: Router ID of virtual link peer.
hello seconds: Interval that router transmits hello packet. It ranges from 1 to 8192
seconds. This value must equal the hello seconds value of the router virtually linked to
the interface. The default value is 10 seconds,
retransmit seconds: Specify the interval for re-transmitting the LSA packets on an
interface. It ranges from 1 to 3600 seconds. The default value is 5 seconds.
trans-delay seconds: Specify the interval for delaying transmitting LSA packets on an
interface. It ranges from 1 to 3600 seconds. By default, the value is 1 second.
dead seconds: Specify the interval of death timer. It ranges from 1 to 8192 seconds.
This value must equal the dead seconds of the router virtually linked to it and must be
at least 4 times of the hello seconds. The default value is 40 seconds.
simple password: Specify the simple text authentication password, not exceeding 8
characters, of the interface. This value must equal the authentication key of the virtually
linked peer.
keyid: Specify the MD5 authentication key ID. Its value ranges from 1 to 255. It must be
equal to the authentication key ID of the virtually linked peer.
key: Specify the MD5 authentication key. If it is input in a plain text form, the key is a
character string not exceeding 16 characters. And it will be displayed in a cipher text
form in a length of 24 characters when display current-configuration command is
executed. Inputting the MD5 key in a cipher text form with 24 characters is also
supported.
Description
Using vlink-peer command, you can create and configure a virtual link. Using undo
vlink-peer command, you can cancel an existing virtual link.
According to RFC2328, the OSPF area should be connected with the backbone
network. You can use vlink-peer command to keep the connectivity. Virtual link can be
regarded as a common interface that uses OSPF so that you can easily understand
why to configure the parameters such as hello, retransmit, and trans-delay on it.
One thing should be mentioned. When configuring virtual link authentication,
authentication-mode command is used to set the authentication mode as MD5 cipher
text or simple text on the backbone network.
