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.
