Re: OSPF v-link MD5 and area 0

Martin,

Basic facts-

1) Any virtual-link IS a pseudo connection to AREA 0.

2) Any authentication configured IN AREA0 HAS to be
configured under the virtual-links.

3) The virtual-link will remain UP even though
authentication is MIS-configured, but you will NOT be
able to ping the area that is encompassed within the
virtual-link.

I don't know why Cisco let's the virtual-link be up
even if there is authentication misconfiguration, but
that is how it is.

Cheers,
Sage
