Changing the transit-delay on a virtual link

Syntax:


area area-id virtual link ip-address transit-delay [0-3600]

Used in the router OSPF context on both ABRs in a virtual link to change the estimated number of seconds it takes to transmit a link state update packet over a virtual link. The transit-delay setting must be the same on both ABRs on a given virtual link.

area-id: Specifies the OSPF area in which both ABRs in a given virtual link operate. In this use, the area ID is sometimes termed "transit area ID." This value must be the same for both ABRs in the virtual link.
ip-address: For an ABR in a given virtual link, this is the IP address used to create the link on that ABR. (This IP address matches the IP address of the interface on the opposite end of the virtual link. See the description of ip-address in the syntax description under Configuring a virtual link.)

Use show ip ospf virtual-link ip-address to view the current setting.

Default: 1 second; range: 1–3600 seconds

Example

To change the hello-interval on the virtual link configured for the network in Figure 37: Defining OSPF virtual links within a network to 60 seconds:

On routing switch "A" (IP address 10.0.0.1) you would use the following command to reconfigure the current hello-interval to 60 seconds:
```
switch(ospf)# area 1 virtual-link 209.157.22.1 hello-interval 60
```
On routing switch "C" (IP address 209.157.22.1) you would use the following command to reconfigure the current hello-interval to 60 seconds
```
switch(ospf)# area 1 virtual-link 10.0.0.1 hello-interval 60
```
