BLADEOS 6.5.2 Application Guide

6.Define the stub area.

RS G8124(config-router-ospf)# area 2 area-id 0.0.0.2

RS G8124(config-router-ospf)# area 1 type stub

RS G8124(config-router-ospf)# area 1 enable

RS G8124(config-router-ospf)# exit

7.Attach the network interface to the backbone.

RS G8124(config)# interface ip 1

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# ip ospf area 1

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# ip ospf enable

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# exit

8.Attach the network interface to the transit area.

RS G8124(config)# interface ip 2

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# ip ospf area 2

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# ip ospf enable

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# exit

9.Configure the virtual link.

The nbr router ID configured in this step must be the same as the router ID that was configured for switch #1 in Step 2 on page 291.

RS G8124(config)# router ospf

RS G8124(config-router-ospf)# area-virtual-link 1 area 1

RS G8124(config-router-ospf)#area-virtual-link 1 neighbor-router 10.10.10.1

RS G8124(config-router-ospf)# area-virtual-link 1 enable

Other Virtual Link Options

￿You can use redundant paths by configuring multiple virtual links.

￿Only the endpoints of the virtual link are configured. The virtual link path may traverse multiple routers in an area as long as there is a routable path between the endpoints.
