IGP Commands
configure isis authentication
configure isis [level-2 | area <isis area identifier>] authentication
[simple-password <isis simple password> {no-check} | hmac-md5 <hmac-md5>
{no-check} | none]
Description
Configures authentication for a level 2 subdomain or a level 1 area.
Syntax Description
Default
By default, authentication is not configured.
Usage Guidelines
Two types of authentication are supported: simple password and HMAC-MD5. Simple password
authentication inserts a text password in the transmitted packet. HMAC-MD5 authentication inserts an
authentication key that is generated using a cryptographic hash function, HMAC, on the data present in
the packet. The no-check option prevents the system from dropping received packets that cannot be
authenticated.
Example
The following command configures authentication using the simple password “extreme” with no
checking for the level 2 subdomain:
configure isis level-2 authentication simple-password extreme no-check
