Thanks Scott !! Follow-up quesiton:

Lets assume we have some thing like this :

R1---R2 , both are OSPF adjacent routers say area 0. Also, on R2 we 2 stub
networks. Say, VLAN a and VLAN b both in area 0. Now, if we use the
interface based authentication command, for area 0 , do we have to go ahead
and enable authentication on vlan a and vlan b interfaces on R2 also ? If we
just enable on R2s interface facing R1 we are still OK.

What do yo think ?
Thanks,
-JM
