Example
This example shows how to enable MD5 authentication on OSPF area 10.0.0.0:
13.1.2.16area stub
Use this command to define an OSPF area as a stub area. This is an area that carries no external
routes.
area area-id stub [no-summary]
area-id Specifies the OSPF area in which to enable authentication.
Valid values are decimal values or IP addresses.
simple Enables simple text authentication. Simple password
authentication allows a password (key) to be configured per
area. Routers in the same area that want to participate in the
routing domain will have to be configured with the same
key.
message-digest Enables MD5 authentication on the OSPF area indicated by
the area-id.
