R3166-R3206-HP High-End Firewalls Network Management Command Reference-6PW101

280
As defined in RFC 2328, all non-backbone areas must maintain connectivity to the backbone. You can
use the vlink-peer command to configure a virtual link to connect an area to the backbone.
Considerations on parameters:
• The smaller the hello interval is, the faster the network converges and the more network resources
are consumed.
• A so small retransmission interval will lead to unnecessary retransmissions. A big value is
appropriate for a low speed link.
• You must specify an appropriate transmission delay with the trans-delay keyword.
The authentication mode at the non-backbone virtual link end follows the one at the backbone virtual link
end. The two authentication modes (MD5 or Simple) are independent, and you can specify neither of
them.
