Could someone please clarify for me the exact context that the
authentication parameters are used in the OSPF virtual link command:-
area 1 virtual-link 1.1.1.1 [authentication | authentication-key]
I currently have a config with Area 0 using plain text authentication
(password cisco) and Area 1 is using message-digest (sanjose).
Ive configured a virtual link across Area 1 to a router tagged to Area
2.
Using:-
Area 0 authentication
Area 1 virtual-link a.b.c.d
On the Area 2 router my virtual link comes up.
So Im assuming that the link has come up because the default null
string is being used by the virtual-link for authentication. Am I right?
If I am then why use the parameters in the command.
Any takers?
TIA
Paul
