Re: Virtual-link authentication and AREA 0 authentication

If you look at your "show ip ospf interface" and "show ip ospf virtual-link"
you'll find that you ARE indeed authenticating over the virtual link. However
you are encrypting with a null (empty) key.

If your lab says use "cisco" as the password, you just messed up. :)

HTH,
