Configuring OSPF Peer Interfaces

You can configure a peer interface for OSPF routers. Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) requires traffic engineering information to be transported through a link separate from the control channel. You establish this separate link by configuring a peer interface.

To configure a peer interface, include the peer-interface statement:

peer-interface interface-name {disable;dead-interval seconds;hello-interval seconds;retransmit-interval seconds;transit-delay seconds;}

For a list of hierarchy levels at which you can include this statement, see the statement summary section for this statement.

To disable the peer interface, specify the disable statement. To modify the peer interface dead interval, specify the dead-interval statement. To modify how often the router sends hello packets out of the peer interface, specify the hello-interval statement. To modify how often the peer interface retransmits the link-state advertisement, specify the retransmit-interval statement. To specify the approximate transit delay to use to age update packets, include the transit-delay statement.
