Re: OSPF Virtual link and area authentication (md5)

I ran into this kind of problem just last night. It depends on how your network
is setup.
If your ospf network is point-to-point you should be fine at all times. however
if you have broadcast then you should be careful about which router becomes the
DR and BDR. OSPF type 5 will only be sent out by the DR on a broadcast network
so if you reboot and change the DR that might create some problems. My
suggestion is use interface ospf priority configuration to set you DR. The same
thing goes for nssa trying to propagate type 7 LSAs.

Hopefully this helps.
