Field	Description
AreaId	Specifies the unique identifier of the area connected to the interface.
	TIP: an area ID of 0.0.0.0 indicates the OSPF backbone.
Neighbor	Specifies the ID of adjacent, reachable routers.
TransitDelay	Specifies the estimated number of seconds required to transmit a
	link state update packet over the virtual interface. Transit delay is
	expressed as an integer between 0-3600. The default value is 0.
RetransInterval	Specifies the number of seconds between link state advertisement
	retransmissions for adjacencies belonging to the virtual interface. The
	retransmit interval is also used to transmit database description and
	link state request packets. The retransmit interval is expressed as an
	interval between 0-3600. The default value is 5.
HelloInterval	Specifies the interval, in seconds, between the Hello packets sent by
	the router on the virtual interface. TIP: This value must be the same
	for all routers attached to a common network. The hello interval is
	expressed as an integer between 1-65535. The default value is 10.
RtrDeadInterval	Specifies the number of seconds since a router last transmitted hello
	packets before neighbor routers declare it down. The retransmit dead
	interval is expressed as an integer between 0-2147483647. The
	default value is 60.
