IP OSPF AUTHENTICATION-KEY
Syntax
ip ospf (A.B.C.D) authentication-key LINE
no ip ospf (A.B.C.D) authentication-key
Parameters
A.B.C.D Specifies the IP address of the interface. This is an
optional parameter.
LINE Specifies the authentication password. String by the
end of the line is taken.
Description
Use the IP OSPF AUTHENTICATION-KEY command to specify an OSPF
authentication password for the neighboring routers. This command
creates a password (key) that is inserted into the OSPF header when the
software originates routing protocol packets. Assign a separate password
to each network for different interfaces. All neighboring routers on the
same network with the same password exchange OSPF routing data.
The key can be used only when authentication is enabled for an area. Use
the AREA AUTHENTICATION command to enable authentication.
Simple password authentication allows you to configure a password for
each area. Configure the routers in the same routing domain with the
same password.
Use the no form of this command to remove an OSPF authentication
password. By default, the authentication password is not specified.
Command Mode
Interface mode
Example
In the following example, an authentication key test is created on interface
3 in area 0. Note that first authentication is enabled for area 0:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# router ospf 100
switch(config-router)# network 10.10.10.0/24 area 0
