No. it is only between ospf neighbors. Loopback does not have any ospf
neighbor and hence no ospf authentication is needed on them.

Subject: ip ospf authentication
Hi ,
I need to do authentication for let's say area 5.
All routers in area 5 has each got a loopback address configure.
Loopback0 is up, line protocol is up
Internet Address 100.10.1.1/24, Area 0
Process ID 1, Router ID 100.10.1.1, Network Type POINT_TO_POINT, Cost: 1
Transmit Delay is 1 sec, State POINT_TO_POINT,
Timer intervals configured, Hello 10, Dead 40, Wait 40, Retransmit 5
Hello due in 00:00:00
Neighbor Count is 0, Adjacent neighbor count is 0
Suppress hello for 0 neighbor(s)
Message digest authentication enabled
No key configured, using default key id 0
My question is since i have configure authentication for the entire area 5 ,
do i need to assigned a key ( password ) to all the loopback address in all
the routers ??
I do think so. But i hope for some opinion.
