These parameters are displayed:
◆ Process ID – Process ID as configured in the Network Area
configuration screen (see page 670 ).
◆ Area ID – Identifies the transit area for the virtual link. The area ID
must be in the form of an IPv4 address, or also as a four octet unsigned
integer ranging from 0-4294967295.
◆ Neighbor – Router ID of the virtual link neighbor. This specifies the
Area Border Router (ABR) at the other end of the virtual link. To create
a virtual link, it must be configured for an ABR at both ends of the link.
One of the ABRs must be next to the isolated area and the transit area
at one end of the link, while the other ABR must be next to the transit
area and backbone at the other end of the link.
