Configuring a virtual link
Non-backbone areas exchange routing information through the backbone area. Connectivity between
the backbone and non-backbone areas and within the backbone must be available.
You can configure virtual links to ensure the connectivity when physical links are not enough.

Configure this command on both
ends of a virtual link.
hello and dead intervals must be
identical on both ends of the virtual
link.

Virtual links cannot transit a stub area, totally stub area, NSSA area, or totally NSSA area.
•
MD5/HMAC-MD5 authentication supports key rollover. For more information, see "
Configuring OSPF network types
OSPF classifies networks into the following types: broadcast, NBMA, P2MP, and P2P, upon the link layer
protocol.
