area virtual-link message-digest-key md5

Description: 

Enables MD5 authentication and configures MD5 keys for virtual links. The no version deletes MD5 keys.

NOTE: If you delete all the MD5 keys, the authentication type for the virtual link is still MD5, but you need to configure MD5 keys. NOTE: To disable MD5 authentication for the virtual link, use the area virtual-link authentication-none command.

Syntax: 

area { areaId | areaIdInt } virtual-link ipAddress
