IP Routing Features

Configuring OSPF

Dead Interval on a Virtual Link.

Syntax: area < area-id > virtual link < ip-address > dead-interval < 1 - 65535 >

Used in the router OSPF context on both ABRs in a virtual link
to change the number of seconds that a neighbor router waits
for a hello packet from the specified interface before declaring
the interface “down”. This should be some multiple of the Hello
interval. The

dead-interval setting must be the same on both

ABRs on a given virtual link.
< area-id >: Specifies the OSPF area in which both ABRs in a
given virtual link operate. In this use, the area ID is sometimes
termed “transit area ID”. This value must be the same for both
ABRs in the virtual link.
< ip-address >: For an ABR in a given virtual link, this is the
IP address used to create the link on that ABR. (This IP address
matches the IP address of the interface on the opposite end of
the virtual link. Refer to the description of

< ip-address > in the

syntax description under “Configuring a Virtual Link” on
page 5-89.)

Use

show ip ospf virtual-link < ip-address > to view the current

setting. (Refer to the example on page 5-116.)

Default: 40 seconds; Range: 1 - 65535 seconds.

Hello Interval on a Virtual Link.

Syntax: area < area-id > virtual link < ip-address > hello-interval < 1 - 65535 >

Used in the router OSPF context on both ABRs in a virtual link
to indicate the length of time between the transmission of hello
packets between the ABRs on opposite ends of the virtual link.
The value can be from 1 – 65535 seconds. The default is 10
seconds. The

hello-interval setting must be the same on both

ABRs on a given virtual link.
< area-id >: Specifies the OSPF area in which both ABRs in a
given virtual link operate. In this use, the area ID is sometimes
termed “transit area ID”. This value must be the same for both
ABRs in the virtual link.
< ip-address >: For an ABR in a given virtual link, this is the
IP address used to create the link on that ABR. (This IP address
matches the IP address of the interface on the opposite end of
the virtual link. Refer to the description of

< ip-address > in the

syntax description under “Configuring a Virtual Link” on
page 5-89.)

Use

show ip ospf virtual-link < ip-address > to view the current

setting. (Refer to the example on page 5-116.)

Default: 10 seconds; Range: 1 - 65535 seconds.
