Routing Configuration 89
Example 3: Configuring a Virtual Link
In this example, Area 0 connects directly to Area 1. A virtual link is defined that traverses Area 1 and
connects to Area 2.
Figure 4-5 illustrates this example OSPF configuration.
Figure 4-5. OSPF Configuration—Virtual Link
Configure Router A: Router A is a backbone router. Configuration steps are similar to those for Router A
in the previous example.
