Creating Virtual Links; Configuring General Ospf Parameters - HP procurve 8100fl series Management And Configuration Manual

Creating Virtual Links

You can create a virtual link to:
■ Connect an area via a transit area to the backbone
■ Create a redundant backbone connection via another area
Each ABR must be configured with the same virtual link. Note that virtual
links cannot be configured through a stub or NSSA area.
To create a virtual link, enter:
ProCurve(config-ospf-area)#virtual-link <ipaddr>
ProCurve(config-ospf-area-virtuallink)#
The command options and parameters for configuring a virtual link include:
authentication enables authentication, using either a message-digest key
■
or an authentication-key that specifies the OSPF password.
dead interval specifies the dead router detection time in seconds
■
hello interval configures the hello packet interval (in seconds) on this
■
virtual link
retransmit interval configures the LSA retransmit interval (in seconds) on
■
this virtual link
transmit delay configures LSA transmission delay in seconds
