virtual-link command keywords and variables
Keywords and
variables Description Default Availability
authentication
{md5 | none |
text} Set the authentication type.
Use the authentication keyword
to define the authentication used for
OSPF packets sent and received
over this virtual link. 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.
