R3303-HP 6600/HSR6600 Routers Layer 3 - IP Routing Command Reference

134
vlink-peer (OSPF area view)
Use vlink-peer to configure a virtual link.
Use undo vlink-peer to remove a virtual link.
Syntax
vlink-peer router-id [ hello seconds | retransmit seconds | trans-delay seconds | dead seconds |
{ simple [ cipher | plain ] password | { md5 | hmac-md5 } key-id [ cipher | plain ] password } ] *
undo vlink-peer router-id [ hello | retransmit | trans-delay | dead | { simple | { md5 | hmac-md5 }
key-id } ] *

Default command level
2: System level
Parameters
router-id: Specifies the router ID of the neighbor on the virtual link.
hello seconds: Specifies the hello interval in seconds, in the range of 1 to 8192. The default is 10. It must
be identical to the hello interval on the virtual link neighbor.
retransmit seconds: Specifies the retransmission interval in seconds, in the range of 1 to 3600. The
default is 5.
trans-delay seconds: Specifies the transmission delay interval in seconds, in the range of 1 to 3600. The
default is 1.
dead seconds: Specifies the dead interval in seconds, in the range of 1 to 32768. The default is 40. It
must be identical to that on the virtual link neighbor. The dead interval is at least four times the hello
interval.
md5: Specifies the MD5 authentication mode.
hmac-md5: Specifies the HMAC-MD5 authentication mode.
simple: Specifies the simple authentication mode.
key-id: Specifies a key by its ID in the range of 1 to 255.
cipher: Specifies a ciphertext password.
plain: Specifies a plaintext password.
password: Specifies a password. In simple authentication mode, a plaintext password is a case-sensitive
string of 1 to 8 characters, and a ciphertext password is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 41 characters. In
MD5/HMAC-MD5 authentication mode, a plaintext password is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 16
characters, and a ciphertext password is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 53 characters.
Usage guidelines
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.
