virtual link (ospf) and md5

sarahr202

Level 5

Hi everybody

How is everyone?

A virtual is established between R1 and R3

R1 and R3 both are connected via virtual link.

R1 is configured to use Md5 on virtual link  while R3  is not.

I am surprised to find the link stay up even when i reset the ospf process on r3.

Is it the normal behavior ?

Below is the config:

R3 config:

router ospf 1

router-id 3.3.3.3

log-adjacency-changes

area 1 virtual-link 1.1.1.1

network 198.198.198.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

network 199.199.199.0 0.0.0.255 area 1

!

R1 config:

router ospf 1

router-id 1.1.1.1

log-adjacency-changes

area 1 virtual-link 3.3.3.3 authentication message-digest

area 1 virtual-link 3.3.3.3 message-digest-key 1 md5 zee

network 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 area 0

network 200.200.200.0 0.0.0.255 area 1

Hi Sarah,

I belive you are using GNS3. Which image are you using. I labbed it on a 7200 and can see the virtual link bounce.
