hello,
i have the following questions i am not to sure about ,
could someone please help
Area 2 ----Area 5 ------Area 0
R1 R1-R2 R2-R3
0/0 0/1 0/0 0/1 0/0 (all ethernets)
Senario
configure OSPF strongest authentication for area 0 by using the "area 0
authentication message-digest" command
Connect area 2 to the main ospf network , Do not use tunnels ( use the "area
x virtual link" command)
my question is ,
If i am in the Lab and i have added the "area 0 authentication
message-digest" to R2 and R3 ..
do i need to add the command "area 0 authentication message-digest" to my
router R1 , thats in Area 2 ??
i have configed it up , without the above command in R1 , and it works fine.
i am just wondering what people think is " best practise"
Another question
when trying this out , i found i had to type all the information on one line
, even thought the IOS puts these commands on two lines.
i am not going mad am i ???? ,
not much sleep this week ..
TIA
MD5
(i typed )
area 2 virtual-link 2.2.2.2 authentication message-digest message-digest-key
