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.
• A so small retransmission interval will lead to unnecessary retransmissions. A big value is
appropriate for a low speed link.
• You need to specify an appropriate transmission delay with the trans-delay keyword.
• You can specify either MD5/HMAC-MD5 authentication or simple authentication for a virtual link.
For MD5/HMAC-MD5 authentication, you can configure multiple keys by executing this command
multiple times, and each command must have a unique key ID and key string.
• For security purposes, all passwords, including passwords configured in plain text, are saved in
cipher text to the configuration file.
• If no cipher or plain is specified, the default password type for MD5/HMAC-MD5 authentication
mode is cipher, and the default password for simple authentication mode for is plain.
