Parameter

Description

Area ID

The transit area the virtual link must cross to connect the border

 

routers.

Router ID

The OSPF identifier for the router at the other end of the link.

IP Address

IP address of the border router at the other end of the link.

Option

The optional OSPF capabilities supported by the neighbor. The

 

neighbor's optional OSPF capabilities are also listed in its Hello

 

packets. This enables received Hellos to be rejected (i.e., neighbor

 

relationships will not even start to form) if there is a mismatch in

 

certain crucial OSPF capabilities. The OSPF optional capabilities

 

currently accepted include external routing capability and TOS

 

capability.

 

You need to map the binary bits to the supported options. For

 

example, “3” indicates both routing capability and TOS capability.
