Usage Guidelines
A virtual
link provides a logical path between the ABR of the disconnected
area and the ABR of the normal area that connects to the backbone.
A virtual link must be established between two ABRs that have a
common area, with one ABR connected to the backbone. Specify the
following:
- router-identifier—Far-end router interface number.
- area-identifier—Transit area used for connecting the two
end-points. The transit area cannot have the area identifier 0.0.0.0. and
cannot be a stub area or an NSSA.
Example
The following command
configures a virtual link between the two interfaces:
configure ospf add virtual-link 10.1.2.1 10.1.0.0
History
This command was
first available in ExtremeXOS 10.1.
