Usage Information Before you enable IPsec authentication on an OSPFv3 area, you must first enable
OSPFv3 globally on the router. Configure the same authentication policy (same SPI
and key) on each interface in an OSPFv3 link.
An SPI number must be unique to one IPsec security policy (authentication or
encryption) on the router.
If you have enabled IPsec encryption in an OSPFv3 area with the area
encryption command, you cannot use the area authentication command in
the area at the same time.
