Service Manual
Parameters
area area-id
Area for which OSPFv3 trac 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 identies 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) Species 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 congured.

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.

Usage Information Before you enable IPsec authentication on an OSPFv3 area, you must rst enable OSPFv3 globally on the
router. Congure 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 conguration of IPsec authentication on an interface-level takes precedence over an area-level
conguration. If you remove an interface conguration, an area authentication policy that has been
congured is applied to the interface.
