Specifies the transit area for the virtual link. Valid values are decimal values
or IP addresses. A transit area is an area through which a virtual link is
established.
Specifies the router ID of the virtual link neighbor.
Specifies a password to be used by the virtual link. Valid values are
alphanumeric strings of up to 8 characters. Neighbor virtual link routers on
a network must have the same password.
Specifies the number of seconds that a router must wait to receive a hello
packet before declaring the neighbor as "dead" and removing it from the
OSPF neighbor list. This value must be the same for all virtual links attached
to a certain subnet, and it is a value ranging from 1 to 8192.
Specifies the number of seconds between hello packets on the virtual link.
This value must be the same for all virtual links attached to a network and it
is a value ranging from 1 to 8192.
Specifies the number of seconds between successive retransmissions of the
same LSAs. Valid values are greater than the expected amount of time
required for the update packet to reach and return from the interface, and
range from 1 to 8192. Default is 5 seconds.
