Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.2(0.0) Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
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.
The configuration of IPsec authentication on an interface-level takes precedence over an area-level
configuration. If you remove an interface configuration, an area authentication policy that has been
configured is applied to the interface.
area encryption
Configure an IPsec encryption policy for OSPFv3 packets in an OSPFv3 area.
Syntax

null
To remove an IPsec encryption policy from an interface, use the no area area-id encryption
spi number command.
Parameters
area area-id
Area for which OSPFv3 traffic is to be encrypted. For area-id, 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.
esp encryption-
algorithm
Encryption algorithm used with ESP.
Valid values are: 3DES, DES, AES-CBC, and NULL.
For AES-CBC, only the AES-128 and AES-192 ciphers are supported.
key-encryption-
algorithm
(OPTIONAL) Specifies if the key is encrypted.
Valid values: 0 (key is not encrypted) or 7 (key is encrypted).
key
Text string used in encryption.
The required lengths of a non-encrypted or encrypted key are:
3DES - 48 or 96 hex digits; DES - 16 or 32 hex digits; AES-CBC -32 or 64 hex digits
for AES-128 and 48 or 96 hex digits for AES-192.
authentication-
algorithm
Specifies the authentication algorithm to use for encryption.
Valid values are MD5 or SHA1.
key-encryption-
type
(OPTIONAL) Specifies if the authentication key is encrypted.
Valid values: 0 (key is not encrypted) or 7 (key is encrypted).
key
Text string used in authentication.
