MD5 authentication is disabled.

◆ Before specifying MD5 authentication for an interface with the ip ospf
authentication command, configure the message-digest key-id and key
with this command.
◆ Normally, only one key is used per interface to generate authentication
information for outbound packets and to authenticate incoming
packets. Neighbor routers must use the same key identifier and key
value.
◆ When changing to a new key, the router will send multiple copies of all
protocol messages, one with the old key and another with the new key.
Once all the neighboring routers start sending protocol messages back
to this router with the new key, the router will stop using the old key.
This rollover process gives the network administrator time to update all
the routers on the network without affecting the network connectivity.
Once all the network routers have been updated with the new key, the
old key should be removed for security reasons.
