Refer to “Optional: Adjust Virtual Link Performance by Changing the Interface
Settings” on page 5-90 below for descriptions of virtual link interface param-
eters you can either use in their default settings or reconfigure as needed.
Optional: Adjust Virtual Link Performance by Changing
the Interface Settings
The following OSPF interface parameters are automatically set to their default
values for virtual links. No change to the defaults is usually required unless
needed for specific network conditions. This is a subset of the parameters
described under “11. Optional: Adjust Performance by Changing the VLAN or
Subnet Interface Settings” on page 5-81. (The cost and priority settings are not
configurable for a virtual link, and the commands for reconfiguring the
settings are accessed in the router OSPF context instead of the VLAN context.)
Not e The parameter settings described in this section for virtual links must be the
same on the ABRs at both ends of a given link.
