Figure 9-18. OSPF Virtual Link Summary
The OSPF Virtual Link Summary page contains the following fields:
• Area ID — The Area ID portion of the virtual link identification for which data is to be displayed. The
Area ID and Neighbor Router ID together define a virtual link.
• Neighbor Router ID — The neighbor portion of the virtual link identification. Virtual links may be
configured between any pair of area border routers with interfaces to a common (non-backbone) area.
• Hello Interval (secs) — The OSPF hello interval for the virtual link in units of seconds. The value for
hello interval must be the same for all routers attached to a network.
• Dead Interval (secs) — The OSPF dead interval for the virtual link in units of seconds. This specifies
how long a router waits to see a neighbor router's Hello packets before declaring that the router is
down. This parameter must be the same for all routers attached to a common network, and should be
a multiple of the Hello Interval (i.e. 4).
Retransmit Interval (secs) — The OSPF retransmit interval for the virtual link in units of seconds.
•
This specifies the time between link-state advertisements for adjacencies belonging to this router
interface. This value is also used when retransmitting database descriptions and link-state request
packets.
