Hi Danny,
Yes, creating a virtual-link is like extending the boundary of area
0.....the implementation of a virtual-link requires area 0 authentication on
the other side of the virtual-link , the one which does not have any
interfaces in area 0.
also b'coz you are creating a virtual-link......and no actual interfaces are
involved in creating a virtual-link you dont require interface
authentication.
cheers,
sumit.
