Virtual Links
Usually, all areas in an OSPF AS are physically connected to the backbone. In some cases where this
is not possible, you can use a virtual link. Virtual links are created to connect one area to the
backbone through another non-backbone area (see
Figure 19 - Default Routes Example, page 144
).
The area which contains a virtual link must be a transit area and have full routing information.
Virtual links cannot be configured inside a stub area or NSSA. The area type must be defined as
transit using the following command:
The virtual link must be configured on the routing devices at each endpoint of the virtual link,
though they may traverse multiple routing devices.
To configure Alteon as one end-point of a virtual link
•
link number is a value between 1 and 3.
•
area index is the OSPF area index of the transit area.
•
router ID is the IP address of the virtual neighbor (nbr), the routing device at the target end-
point.
Another router ID is needed when configuring a virtual link in the other direction. To provide Alteon
with a router ID, see
For a detailed configuration example on Virtual Links, see
Example 2: Virtual Links, page 152
.
Router ID
Routing devices in OSPF areas are identified by a router ID. The router ID is expressed in IP address
format. The IP address of the router ID is not required to be included in any IP interface range or in
any OSPF area.
The router ID can be configured in one of the following two ways:
•
Dynamically—By default, OSPF protocol configures the lowest IP interface IP address as the
router ID.
•
Statically—Use the following command to manually configure the router ID:
To modify the router ID from static to dynamic
Set the router ID to 0.0.0.0, save the configuration, and reboot Alteon.
