IP ROUTING COMMANDS

•retransmit-intervalseconds - Specifies the interval at which the ABR retransmits link-state advertisements (LSA) over the virtual link. The retransmit interval should be set to a conservative value that provides an adequate flow of routing information, but does not produce unnecessary protocol traffic. However, note that this value should be larger for virtual links. (Range: 1-3600 seconds; Default: 5 seconds)

•transmit-delayseconds - Estimates the time required to send a link-state update packet over the virtual link, considering the transmission and propagation delays. LSAs have their age incremented by this amount before transmission. This value must be the same for all routers attached to an autonomous system. (Range: 1-3600 seconds; Default: 1 seconds)

•dead-intervalseconds - Specifies the time that neighbor routers will wait for a hello packet before they declare the router down. This value must be the same for all routers attached to an autonomous system. (Range: 1-65535 seconds; Default: 4 x hello interval, or 40 seconds)

•authentication-keykey - Sets a plain text password (up to 8 characters) that is used by neighboring routers on a virtual link to generate or verify the authentication field in protocol message headers. A separate password can be assigned to each network interface. However, this key must be the same for all neighboring routers on the same network (i.e., autonomous system). This key is only used when authentication is enabled for the backbone.

•message-digest-keykey-idmd5 key - Sets the key identifier and password to be used to authenticate protocol messages passed between neighboring routers and this router when using message digest (MD5) authentication. The key-idis an integer from 1-255, and the key is an alphanumeric string up to 16 characters long. If MD5 authentication is used on a virtual link, then it must be enabled on all routers within an autonomous system; and the key identifier and key must also be the same for all routers.
