Hi Guys !
Good for answer.

But if there are area 0 is used cleartext authentication and area 1 is used hash authentication.
then what is authentication for area 1 Virtual link, is it used cleartext authentication or hash authentication ?
ref. for your solution should used cleartext authentication.
Correct me if wrong!

regards,

Asep

As an alternative we could override area 0 authentication on the virtual
link by setting it back to the default of null authentication.

R5:
router ospf 1
router-id 5.5.5.5
area 0 authentication message-digest
area 1 virtual-link 3.3.3.3 authentication null

R3:
router ospf 1
router-id 3.3.3.3
area 1 virtual-link 5.5.5.5

Also if we were not permitted to use the "area <area-id> authentication
message-digest" command on R3 we could just enable it for the virtual
link itself:

R5:
router ospf 1
router-id 5.5.5.5
area 0 authentication message-digest
area 1 virtual-link 3.3.3.3 message-digest-key 1 md5 cisco

R3:
router ospf 1
router-id 3.3.3.3
area 1 virtual-link 5.5.5.5 authentication message-digest
area 1 virtual-link 5.5.5.5 message-digest-key 1 md5 cisco

You are correct that you would need a virtual-link to connect Area 3
with
Area 0. However you do not need to put the same authentication on the
virtual-link that the transit area has. The virtual-link is an
extension of
Area 0 - your basically dragging Area 0 over to R3. Since the
virtual-link
is an extension of Area 0, if you are doing Area authentication on Area
0
you should use the same type of authentication on the virtual-link. The

configuration would look something like this if you were doing MD5
authentication on Area 0:

R5

router ospf 1
router-id 5.5.5.5
area 0 authentication message-digest
area 1 virtual-link 3.3.3.3 message-digest-key 1 md5 cisco

R3

router ospf 1
router-id 3.3.3.3
area 0 authentication message-digest
area 1 virtual-link 5.5.5.5 message-digest-key 1 md5 cisco

On R3 we need the command 'area 0 authentication message-digest' since
we
have carried Area 0 over the virtual-link to R3, R3 is now running Area
0.
We have to tell R3 to use the message-digest-key that we have configured
on
the virtual-link. Both sides of the virtual-link will then use Key 1
with
the password Cisco to authenticate.
