Re: Does virtual Link requires Authentication?

Also remember that the virtual-link runs as a demand circuit. This
means that if the virtual-link is up, and then authentication is enabled
incorrectly, the virtual-link won't actually go down until there is a
change in the topology. As a general rule you should always clear the
OSPF process any time you make a change that can affect the virtual-link
to ensure that it comes back up properly.
