Configure the optional parameters of a
virtual link:
• Area ID: assigned earlier (0-65535 or
A.B.C.D)
• Router ID: IP address associated with
the virtual link neighbor
• Hello Interval Seconds: 1-8192
(default 10)
• Retransmit Interval Seconds: 1-3600
(default 5)
• Transmit Delay Seconds: 1-3600
(default 1)
• Dead Interval Seconds: 1-8192
(default 40)
• Authentication Key: 8 characters
• Message Digest Key: 1-255
• MD5 Key: 16 characters
Only the Area ID and Router ID require configuration to create a
virtual link. If no other parameter is entered, the defaults are used.
Use EITHER the Authentication Key or the Message Digest
(MD5) key.
