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: Sets 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: Sets the retransmission interval in seconds, in the range of 1 to 3600. The default is
5.
trans-delay seconds: Sets the transmission delay interval in seconds, in the range of 1 to 3600. The
default is 1.
dead seconds: Sets 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: Enables MD5 authentication.
hmac-md5: Enables HMAC-MD5 authentication.
simple: Enables simple authentication.
key-id: Specifies the key ID for MD5 or HMAC-MD5 authentication, in the range of 1 to 255.
cipher: Sets a ciphertext password.
plain: Sets 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.
