are otherwise not connected to the backbone.
A virtual link is treated by OSPF as a point-to-point unnumbered network
joining two area border routers. The virtual link must be configured in both of
the area border routers.
A virtual link is defined by the following two parameters:
• The Router ID of the virtual link’s other endpoint
•
The non-backbone area across which the virtual link goes through.
