Hey Marcus.
One thing that I noticed when doing multiple(2) keys on the hub and only 1
key on the spokes.
HUB-----spoke1
\____spoke2
Each spoke would bark about not having that key defined, yet it would work.
I suppose it's kinda like a rip transition key, then again, I don't recall
RIP barking about that key not being valid.
Just goes to show key numbers are important when there is only one of them,
but if the hub sends two, it'll yell atcha but still work.

Subject: ospf auth spokes, different keys
I remember reading once that if your passwords are the same, it is
recommended to use different keys for each spoke. I don't remember if that
advice was for the area authentication, or for virtual links if there are
virt links to each spoke as well. I have tested all combinations and can't
find any conflicts. I do find if there are two interface keys at hub, then
it reads that one of the spokes is using an old key, but other than this I
cannot replicate any problems by using the same key. Is this correct?
Thanks,
Marcus
