Ok here is the scenario:
r1 --------------- r2 ----------------
r3 -----------------r4 ---------------r5
area 1 area 2 area 0 area 0
So I have R1 and R2 in Area 1
R2 and R3 in Area 2
R3 and R4 in Area 0
R4 and R5 in Area 0
I configure virtual link for area 2 between R2 and R3.
I also configure Area 0 Authentication MD5 for R3/R4/R5
Router ospf 1
area 0 authentication message-digest
interface S.x
ip ospf authentication message-digest
ip ospf message-digest-key 1 md5 7 cisco
that's basically the configs for R3/R4/R5. Ok this works
I guess I remember seeing some post sometime ago about backbone routers
(Area 0 Routers) with virtual links and Area 0 authentication requirements
will also require authentication on the Virtual-links. So here is what I
did...
I hopped on R2 :
router ospf 1
area 0 authentication message-digest
area 2 virtual-link 3x.3x.3x.3x message-digest-key 1 md5 7 cisco
On R3
area 2 virtual-link 2x.2x.2x.2x message-digest-key 1 md5 7 cisco
This seems to work but I am not entirely sure that this is correct. Will
someone please comment?
Thanks,
Luke
