Configuring Authentication in EIGRP
You can configure authentication between neighbors for EIGRP. See the “Authentication” section on
page 4-5.
You can configure EIGRP authentication for the EIGRP process or for individual interfaces. Interface
EIGRP authentication configuration overrides the EIGRP process-level authentication configuration.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Ensure that you have enabled the EIGRP feature (see the “Enabling the EIGRP Feature” section on
page 4-9).
Ensure that all neighbors for an EIGRP process share the same authentication configuration, including
the shared authentication key.
Create the key-chain for this authentication configuration. See the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS
Security Configuration Guide, Release 5.x.
