Figure 180 OSPF: Virtual Link
In this example, area 100 does not have a direct connection to the backbone. As a result, you
should set up a virtual link on both ABR in area 10. The virtual link becomes the connection
between area 100 and the backbone.
You cannot create a virtual link to a router in a different area.
OSPF Configuration
Follow these steps when you configure OSPF on the ZyWALL.
1 Enable OSPF.
