Configure a virtual link between this vRouter and the specified neighbor. This allows OSPF routers that are not physically connected to the backbone to be part of the backbone and to be an ABR. Virtual links use transit areas for connectivity to the backbone. A virtual link must be configured on each router, specifying the other router.
Additionally, the router not physically connected to the backbone must still have a configured backbone area containing the same settings as the router physically on the backbone.

| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| areaId ipAddress | Area ID that the virtual interface transits. |
| neighbor ipAddress | Neighbor address. |
| transitDelay integer |
Optional: Delay of LSA transmissions. Valid values are from 1 to 2147483647; the default setting is "1". |
| retransInterval integer |
Optional: Time between LSA retransmissions. Valid values are from 1 to 2147483647; the default setting is "5". |
| helloInterval integer |
Optional: Seconds between hello packets. Valid values are from 1 to 2147483647; the default setting is "10". |
| rtrDeadInterval integer |
Optional: Time before router is considered down. Valid values are from 1 to 2147483647; the default setting is "40". |
| rtrPriority integer |
Optional: Priority of the vRouter. Valid values are from 0 to 255; the default setting is "1". |
| pollInterval integer |
Optional: Seconds between hello packets to a down neighbor. Valid values are from 1 to 2147483647; the default setting is "120". |
| authKey text | Optional: Text for verification field in OSPF header. |
| authType enumeration |
Optional: Authentication type sent from interface. The default setting is "none". Valid values:
|
| authId integer |
Optional: An authentication identification (ID) number used during MD5 authentication. This value must match the authentication ID configured on the other routers in the network. Not all routers use the authentication ID; you can use the default value if your routers do not use an authentication ID. You must set the authType argument to md5 to use this argument. The default setting is "0". |
