ospf-interface command keywords and variables

Keywords and variables

Description

Default

Availability

authentication
{md5 | none | text}

Use the authentication

keyword to define the

authentication used for OSPF

packets sent and received by

this interface. If you select

none, no authentication is

used. If you select text, the

authentication key is sent as

plain text. If you select md5,

the authentication key is used

to generate an MD5 hash.
Both text mode and MD5

mode only guarantee the

authenticity of the update

packet, not the confidentiality

of the routing 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

network.
If you configure authentication

for the interface, authentication

for areas is not used.
All routers on the network must

use the same authentication

type.
