Hi GS

I just need some clarification with virtual links authentication with regards to this lab task (IEWB Ver 3 Lab 6 Task 4.5).
When using MD5 authentication in OSPF Area 0 and there are virtual links between Area 0 ABRs and ABR's of other areas, is it compulsory to use the following two commands or the first command is sufficient:

1. area 23 virtual-link 1.2.3.4 message-digest-key 1 md5 CISCO
2. area 23 virtual-link 1.2.3.4 authentication message-digest

I did not use the second command but the routers are authenticated and I can see the message 'Message digest authentication enabled' under the sh ip ospf virtual-links command.

Please note that there is an OSPF routing process command area 0 authentication message-digest also configured.

Thanks for any input
