Hi,
I got authentication to work where I expected it wouldn't. Here's the setup:
R3 area0 R1 area1 R5 area 5
Area 0 has simple authen enabled and there's a virtual link between R1 and R5
and R1 & R5 share an Ethernet.
Here are portions of the configs of R1 and R5
R1
router os 1
area 0 authen
area 1 virtual-link 192.168.5.5
(Interfaces in Area0 include the command, " ip os authentication-key 0 ccie")
R5
router os 1
area 0 authen
area 1 virtual-link 192.168.1.1
Except, for area 0 authen, as seen above, no other authentication commands
were used on R5. Therefore, R5 has no knowledge of the area 0 password, ccie,
but routes in area 5 are still seen on R1. I expected I would have had to add
additional commands to R1 and R5 to specify the area 0 password, but I didn't
have to. All routers are running IOS 12.1.
Is this suppose to work this way? Or, is this some sort of anomoly?
Thanks, Raj
