RE: OSPF virtual link

Yeah youre absolutely right.
I had advice from my friend to remove the entire authentication first to
see if it was authentication problem.
After I removed the entire authentication, it works.
Then I add authentication for backbone area first then for virtual link
but without area 0 authentication in R1 as you suggest, and it works
perfectly.
Here the configuration:

R1#sh run | begin router ospf
router ospf 1
 area 12 virtual-link 192.168.2.2 authentication message-digest
 area 12 virtual-link 192.168.2.2 message-digest-key 1 md5 cisco
 redistribute connected subnets route-map fa1
 network 172.29.12.0 0.0.0.63 area 12
 network 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 1

R2#sh run | begin router ospf
router ospf 1
 area 0 authentication message-digest
 area 0 range 172.29.100.0 255.255.255.0
 area 12 virtual-link 192.168.1.1 message-digest-key 1 md5 cisco
 network 172.29.12.0 0.0.0.63 area 12
 network 172.29.100.0 0.0.0.7 area 0
 network 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.255 area 2

R2#sh ip route | include 192.168.1.1
O IA 192.168.1.1 [110/11] via 172.29.12.1, 00:03:24, Ethernet0/0

R2#sh ip route | include 172.29.100.0
O 172.29.100.0/24 is a summary, 00:08:56, Null0
C 172.29.100.0/29 is directly connected, Serial0/0.100

Thank you for your help.
Janto

Your Virtual link is not working. Cuz on R1, you also need the command '
area 12 virtual-link 192.168.2.2 authentication message-digest' as on
the R2.

area 0 authentication message-digest only work for the whole area 0 but
which is still different from the virtual link authentication. You can
check whether I am right by "show ip ospf virtual-link" for if the
virtual link status is full.

Why I said so is also cuz: from the
R1#sh ip ro | inc 172.29.100.0
O IA 172.29.100.0/24 [110/65] via 172.29.12.2, 00:09:13,

If the Virtual link is working, the status of this route should be O but
not O IA cuz the R1 were to be pulled into area 0.

Dear All,

I had configured OSPF virtual link as below:

(f1/0) ---R1(f0/0)-------(e0/0)R2 ---- (s0/0)
(lo0) ----| | ---- (lo0)

R1 lo0: 192.168.1.1/32
R1 f1/0: 172.29.10.1/26
R1 f0/0: 172.29.12.1/26
R2 lo0: 192.168.2.2/32
R2 e0/0: 172.29.12.2/26
R2 s0/0: 172.29.100.2/29

Between R1-R2 running OSPF Area 12, Area 2 on R2 lo0, Area 1 on R1 lo0.
Redistribute R1 f1/0 to OSPF.

R1#sh run | begin router ospf
router ospf 1
 log-adjacency-changes
 area 0 authentication message-digest
 area 12 virtual-link 192.168.2.2 message-digest-key 1 md5 cisco

 network 172.29.12.0 0.0.0.63 area 12
 network 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 1

R2#sh ip ro 192.168.1.1
% Network not in table

Why I can't see 192.168.1.1 in R2 routing table?
The virtual link already up.

TIA.
