Version Description
8.3.11.1 Introduced on the Z9000.
8.3.8.0 Introduced on the S4810.
OSPFv3 Commands
The fundamental mechanisms of OSPF (flooding, DR election, area support, SPF calculations, and so on)
remain unchanged. However, OSPFv3 runs on a per-link basis instead of on a per-IP-subnet basis. Most
changes were necessary to handle the increased address size of IPv6.
The Dell Networking implementation of OSPFv3 is based on IETF RFC 2740.
area authentication
Configure an IPsec authentication policy for OSPFv3 packets in an OFSPFv3 area.
C9000 Series
Syntax
area area-id authentication ipsec spi number {MD5 | SHA1} [key-
encryption-type] key
Parameters
area area-id
Area for which OSPFv3 traffic is to be authenticated. For
area-id, you can enter a number.
The range is from 0 to 4294967295.
ipsec spi number
Security Policy index (SPI) value that identifies an IPsec
security policy.
The range is from 256 to 4294967295.
MD5 | SHA1
Authentication type: Message Digest 5 (MD5) or Secure
Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1).
key-encryption-
type
(OPTIONAL) Specifies if the key is encrypted.
The values are 0 (key is not encrypted) or 7 (key is
encrypted).
key
Text string used in authentication.
For MD5 authentication, the key must be 32 hex digits (non-
encrypted) or 64 hex digits (encrypted).
