password: Sets the authentication password. This argument is case sensitive. For simple authentication
mode, it is a plaintext string of 1 to 8 characters, or a ciphertext string of 1 to 41 characters. For
MD5/HMAC-MD5 authentication mode, it is a plaintext string of 1 to 16 characters, or a ciphertext
string of 1 to 53 characters.
Description
Use vlink-peer to configure a virtual link.
Use undo vlink-peer to remove a virtual link.
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.
•
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.
The authentication password, set in either text or cipher text, is saved to the configuration file in cipher
text.
If neither cipher nor plain is specified, cipher applies to the MD5/HMAC-MD5 authentication mode and
plain applies to the simple authentication mode, by default.
