Use the authentication keyword to

 

 

 

define the authentication used for OSPF

 

 

 

packets sent and received in this area. If

 

 

 

you select none, no authentication is

 

 

 

used. If you select text, the

 

 

 

authentication key is sent as plain text. If

 

 

 

you select md5, an authentication key is

 

 

 

used to generate an MD5 hash.

 

 

 

Both text mode and MD5 mode only

 

 

 

guarantee the authenticity of the OSPF

 

 

 

packet, not the confidentiality of the

 

 

 

information in the packet.

 

 

 

In text mode the key is sent in clear text

 

 

 

over the network. Text mode is usually

 

 

 

used only to prevent network problems

 

 

 

that can occur if an unwanted or

 

 

 

misconfigured router is mistakenly

 

 

 

added to the area.

 

 

 

If you configure authentication for

 

 

 

interfaces, the authentication configured

 

 

 

for the area is not used. Authentication

 

 

 

passwords or keys are defined per

 

 

 

interface. See “config ospf-interface” on
