The Remove OSPF Virtual Link (RMVOSPFLNK) command removes a virtual link from the OSPF configuration.

IPv4 and IPv6 OSPF virtual links can be removed. The Link transmission area (LNKTMSARA) parameter value will determine whether the virtual link is an IPv4 or IPv6 OSPF virtual link.

IP version (IPVERSION)

Specifies the IP version (IPv4 or IPv6) of the Virtual Link.

This is a required parameter.

*IPV4
This Virtual Link is part of an OSPF IPv4 routing domain.
*IPV6
This Virtual Link is part of an OSPF IPv6 routing domain.

Neighbor router (NGHRTR)

Specifies the router identifier of the neighbor (other endpoint).

This is a required parameter.

character-value
Specify the internet address of the router in the form a.a.a.a where a is a decimal number between 1 and 255.
Top

Link transmission area (LNKTMSARA)

Specifies a non-backbone, non-stub area through which the virtual link is configured. Virtual links can be configured between any two area border routers that have an interface to a common non-backbone and non-stub area. Virtual links must be configured in each of the link's two endpoints.

The IP version of the area must be the same as the virtual link.

This is a required parameter.

character-value
Specify the internet address of the area in the form a.a.a.a where a is a decimal number between 1 and 255.

Examples

RMVOSPFLNK   IPVERSION(*IPV4)  NGHRTR('2.2.2.2')
             LNKTMSARA('3.3.3.3')

This command removes the virtual link for neighbor router 2.2.2.2 with link transmission area 3.3.3.3. For removing an OSPF virtual link for IPv4, you need to identify the router identifier over which the link has been established and the area identifier of the link transmission area.

RMVOSPFLNK   IPVERSION(*IPV6)  NGHRTR('62.62.62.62')
             LNKTMSARA('63.63.63.63')

This command removes the virtual link for neighbor router 62.62.62.62 with link transmission area 63.63.63.63. For removing an OSPF virtual link for IPv4, you need to identify the router identifier over which the link has been established and the area identifier of the link transmission area.
