Hi Group,

- the question ask to configure area 0 with md5 authentication
- the virtual link transits another area 100, which not asked for
authentication

I does not configure virtual-link authentication, it is still up, and full
adjacent.

core#sh ip ospf virtual-links
Virtual Link OSPF_VL0 to router 10.1.1.1 is up
  Run as demand circuit
  DoNotAge LSA allowed.
  Transit area 100, via interface Serial1/1, Cost of using 10
  Transmit Delay is 1 sec, State POINT_TO_POINT,
  Timer intervals configured, Hello 10, Dead 40, Wait 40, Retransmit 5
    Hello due in 00:00:06
    Adjacency State FULL (Hello suppressed)
    Index 1/2, retransmission queue length 0, number of retransmission 0
    First 0x0(0)/0x0(0) Next 0x0(0)/0x0(0)
    Last retransmission scan length is 0, maximum is 0
    Last retransmission scan time is 0 msec, maximum is 0 msec
  Message digest authentication enabled
      No key configured, using default key id 0
R4#

My question is that how to know whether we should configure authentication
for virtual link?

Adv. Thanks,
Ed.
