RE: OSPF Virtual-Link

I've spent a lot of time playing with this, and for some reason, I get the
virtual link to come up just by putting the "area o authentication
message-digest" command in the router that is on the far end of the virtual
link. When I do a debug, it says that authentication is configured, but for
some reason on the virtual I don't need to enter the key. In area 0, I need
to or they won't establish adjacencies.

Has anyone else seen this, and what am I dong wrong? Is this because on the
core router I am not putting the message-digest statement on my virtual link
command? I think this mean that you are still using md5, but just using the
default key. At least that's what I get from the debugs. And if so, if they
state that you need to authenticate area 0 with md5, do you also need to on
the virtual link? And is the default key enough?

Thanks

The virtual link command stretches area 0 across your area 1 to your
Router4. If you go to R4 and do "sh ip ospf" I think you will see it now
has areas 1, 55 and 0. I think you need to put a key on your virtual link,
like:

area 1 virtual-link x.x.x.x message-digest key 1 md5 cisco
