Parameters
area area-id
Area for which OSPFv3 trac 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 identies 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) Species 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).
For SHA-1 authentication, the key must be 40 hex digits (non-encrypted) or 80 hex
digits (encrypted).
Defaults Not congured.
Command Modes ROUTER OSPFv3
Command History
This guide is platform-specic. For command information about other platforms, refer to the relevant Dell
Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide.
The following is a list of the Dell Networking OS version history for this command.
Version Description
9.8(0.0) Introduced on the S3048-ON and S4048-ON.
9.1.(0.0) Introduced on the S4810 and Z9000.
8.3.19.0 Introduced on the S4820T.
8.4.2.0 Introduced on the E-Series TeraScale.
Usage Information Before you enable IPsec authentication on an OSPFv3 area, you must rst enable OSPFv3 globally on the
router. Congure 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 conguration of IPsec authentication on an interface-level takes precedence over an area-level
conguration. If you remove an interface conguration, an area authentication policy that has been
congured is applied to the interface.
