Creating a Virtual Link with MD5 Authentication to Area 0 for OSPF
This task explains how to create a virtual link to your backbone (area 0) and apply MD5 authentication. You
must perform the steps described on both ABRs, one at each end of the virtual link. To understand virtual
links, see

area—unless you override the values and configure them explicitly for the interface. An example is
provided in

Before You Begin
The following prerequisites must be met before creating a virtual link with MD5 authentication to area 0:
• You must have the router ID of the neighbor router at the opposite end of the link to configure the local
• For a virtual link to be successful, you need a stable router ID at each end of the virtual link. You do
• Before configuring your virtual link for OSPF Version 2, you must decide whether to configure plain

we recommend that you perform one of the following tasks before configuring a virtual link:
◦ Use the router-id command to set the router ID. This strategy is preferable.
◦ Configure a loopback interface so that the router has a stable router ID.

determines whether you need to perform additional tasks related to authentication.
