36.4 area virtual-link
Command:
area <id> virtual-link A.B.C.D [instance-id <instance-id> | INTERVAL <value>]
no area <id> virtual-link A.B.C.D [instance-id <instance-id> | INTERVAL]
Function:
Configure a logical link between two backbone areas physically divided by non-backbone area. The
“no area <id> virtual-link A.B.C.D [instance-id <instance-id> | INTERVAL]” command removes
this virtual-link.
Parameter:
<id> is the area number which could be digits ranging between 0~4294967295, and also as an IP
address.
<instance-id> is the interface instance ID ranging between 0~255 and defaulted at 0
INTERVAL= [dead-interval|hello-interval|retransmit-interval|transmit-delay]
<value>: The delay or interval seconds, ranging between 1~65535
<dead-interval>: A neighbor is considered offline for certain dead interval without its group
messages which the default is 40 seconds.
<hello-interval>: The time interval before the router sends a hello group message, default is 10
seconds
<retransmit-interval>: The time interval before a router retransmitting a group message, default
is 5 seconds
<transmit-delay>: The time delay before a router sending a group messages, 1 second by default
