Cuda 12000 IP Access Switch CLI Reference Guide
ip ospf authentication 193
ip ospf authentication
Specifies the type of authentication (MD5 or simple password) that OSPF uses as a security
measure so that the current interface exchanges routing information with authorized neighbors
only. This command also specifies the security key that is used for routing information exchanges.
Make sure that:
■ The Cuda 12000 and all of its OSPF neighbors on the current interface use the same
authentication type, key ID (for MD5 only), and key.
■ The authentication type for the area ID associated with the current interface matches the
authentication type you configure for the interface. For example, if you configure MD5
authentication for an area ID, 1.1.1.1, and you associate area ID 1.1.1.1 with the current
interface, then you must configure MD5 authentication for the current interface. Refer to
ospf area on page 307 for more information on configuring authentication types for areas.
Use the no form of the command to disable authentication on an interface.
