DETAILED STEPS
Configuring Authentication Message Digest Management for OSPF
This task explains how to manage authentication of a keychain on the OSPF interface. 
Prerequisites
A valid keychain must be configured before this task can be attempted.
To learn how to configure a keychain and its associated attributes, see the “Implementing Key Chain 
Management on Cisco IOS XR Software” module of Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration 
Guide.
Command or Action Purpose
Step 1
configure 
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
router ospf 
process-name
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router ospf 1
Enables OSPF routing for the specified routing process and 
places the router in router configuration mode.
Note The process-name argument is any alphanumeric 
string no longer than 40 characters.
Step 3
mpls ldp auto-config
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf)# mpls ldp 
auto-config
Enables LDP IGP interface auto-configuration for an OSPF 
instance.
• Optionally, this command can be configured for an area 
of an OSPF instance.
Step 4
end
or
commit
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf)# end
or
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf)# commit
Saves configuration changes.
• When you issue the end command, the system prompts 
you to commit changes:
Uncommitted changes found, commit them before 
exiting(yes/no/cancel)?
[cancel]:
–
Entering yes saves configuration changes to the 
running configuration file, exits the configuration 
session, and returns the router to EXEC mode.
–
Entering no exits the configuration session and 
returns the router to EXEC mode without 
committing the configuration changes.
–
Entering cancel leaves the router in the current 
configuration session without exiting or 
committing the configuration changes.
• Use the commit command to save the configuration 
changes to the running configuration file and remain 
within the configuration session.
