  1. From the Device Manager menu bar, choose IP Routing > OSPF.
    2. The OSPF dialog box opens with the General tab displayed.
  2. Click the Virtual If tab.
    3. The Virtual If tab opens.
  3. Click Insert.
    4. The OSPF, Insert Virtual If dialog box opens.
  4. Specify the area ID of the transit area.
    5. The transit area is the common area between two ABRs.
  5. Specify the neighbor ID.
    6. The neighbor ID is the IP router ID of the ABR that the other ABR needs to go through to get to the backbone.
  6. Click Insert.
  7. To verify that the virtual link is active, refresh the Virtual If tab and check the state column.
    8. If the state displays "point to point," the virtual link is active. If the state column displays "down," the virtual link is configured incorrectly.
