ExtremeWare XOS 11.0 Command Reference Guide 689
configure ospf authentication
configure ospf [vlan [<vlan-name> | all] | area <area-identifier> |
virtual-link <router-identifier> <area-identifier>] authentication
[{encrypted} simple-password <simple-password> | {encrypted} md5
<md5_key_id> <md5_key>| none]
Description
Specifies the authentication password (up to eight characters) or Message Digest 5 (MD5) key for one or
all interfaces in a specific area or a virtual link.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
The md5_key is a numeric value with the range 0 to 65,536 or alphanumeric. When the OSPF area is
specified, authentication information is applied to all OSPF interfaces within the area.
The
encrypted
keyword is primarily for the output of the
show configuration
command, so the
password (or key) is not revealed in the command output. Do not use it to set the password or key.
Example
The following command configures MD5 authentication on the VLAN subnet_26 :
configure ospf vlan subnet_26 authentication md5 32 test
