Non-Configurable Data
State - The state of the interface.
•
Down - This is the initial interface state. In this state, the lower-level protocols
have indicated that the interface is unusable. In this state, interface parameters will
be set to their initial values. All interface timers will be disabled, and there will be
no adjacencies associated with the interface.
•
Waiting - The router is trying to determine the identity of the (Backup) Designated
Router by monitoring received Hello Packets. The router is not allowed to elect a
Backup Designated Router or a Designated Router until it transitions out of
Waiting state. This prevents unnecessary changes of (Backup) Designated Router.
•
Point-to-Point - The interface is operational, and is connected either to the virtual
link. On entering this state the router attempts to form an adjacency with the
neighboring router. Hello Packets are sent to the neighbor every HelloInterval
seconds.
•
Designated Router - This router is itself the Designated Router on the attached
network. Adjacencies are established to all other routers attached to the network.
The router must also originate a network-LSA for the network node. The network-
LSA will contain links to all routers (including the Designated Router itself)
attached to the network.
•
Backup Designated Router - This router is itself the Backup Designated Router
on the attached network. It will be promoted to Designated Router if the present
Designated Router fails. The router establishes adjacencies to all other routers
attached to the network. The Backup Designated Router performs slightly different
functions during the Flooding Procedure, as compared to the Designated Router.
•
Other Designated Router - The interface is connected to a broadcast or NBMA
network on which other routers have been selected to be the Designated Router
and Backup Designated Router either. The router attempts to form adjacencies to
both the Designated Router and the Backup Designated Router.
Neighbor State - The state of the Virtual Neighbor Relationship.
Metric - The metric value used by the Virtual Link.
Command Buttons
Submit - Send the updated configuration to the switch. Configuration changes take effect
immediately. These changes will not be retained across a power cycle unless a save is
performed.
Delete - Removes the specified virtual link from the router configuration.
