Gary,

Basically the VT is just a template for the virtual-access interface to
be created from. So what you configure on the template will be cloaned
to the VA interface spawned from it. So no it itself is not an
interface, but it is a template for an interface (guilt by association).

In this case the ospf statement configured on it would be replicated to
the actual virtual-access interface and that is a real (well virtual)
interface. :)
