this command.
Command Syntax
ip ospf authentication [message-digest | null]
no ip ospf authentication
message-digest (Optional) Specifies that message-digest authentication will be used.
null (Optional) No authentication is used. Useful for overriding password
or message-digest authentication if configured for an area.
Default
The area default is no authentication (null authentication).
Command Mode
Interface configuration
Usage
Before using the ip ospf authentication command, configure a password for the interface using the ip
ospf authentication-key command. If you use the ip ospf authentication message-digest
command, configure the message-digest key for the interface with the ip ospf message-digest-key
command.
For backward compatibility, authentication type for an area is still supported. If the authentication type
is not specified for an interface, the authentication type for the area will be used (the area default is null
authentication).
Examples
The following example enables message-digest authentication:
Switch(config-if)# ip ospf authentication message-digest
