Description
Area ID of transit area for the virtual link.
Router ID of the virtual neighbor.
none or simple (same as for normal interface).
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 ip-address can be specified to display
detailed information for a particular virtual neighbor. If an area-id is specified
only virtual links belonging to that area are shown.
