Thanks so much for clarifying. I am clear now and have understood it
properly after you explained.
Thanks

Devin,
          What you have specified the router to do, is perform
authentication on
the Virtual Link - only on R1, so your debugs are correct in saying the
virtual link authentication will fail.
        The reason why R1 still has a neighbor relationship with R2 is
because R1
is in Area1, which is directly connected to an Area0 ABR(R2). If you
configure a new router in area 5, he will not be directly connected to an
Area0 ABR, this is why you need the virtual link to extend Area0 to R1.
        With the configuration you have, the authentication will fail on the
virtual link, not allowing area 0 to be extended to R1. So the new router in
Area5 will not receive any LSA's associated with Area0, and vise-versa. Once
you configure authentication across the virtual link on R2, all LSA's
between Area0 and Area5 should be propagated.

Let me know if this helps.

-Jay

Hello all..

I have two routers running ospf with R2 part of Area 0 & 1 and R1 part of
Area 1 & 5. So I have a virtual-link running between these two routers. It
works well that way. Now when I enabled authentication on only one router,
R1, virtual link still remains up and all there are no missing routes or
neighbors. I was expecting R1 to tear down neighbor relationship with R2,
but nothing of that sort happens. But when I give debug ip ospf adj command,
it shows authentication failure. All works well otherwise even if I don't
enable authentication on R2. Any clues??
Already tried rebooting routers.

Thanks
Devin
