authkey is the password used to validate protocol packets received on
the router interface. The value is one of the following: 1 to 8 decimal
digits separated by periods, a 1-byte to 8-byte hexadecimal string
preceded by 0x, or a string of 1 to 8 characters in double quotes.
Default: None
Range: Up to 8 bytes
NOTE To set an authkey value, the authtype clause must be set to 1 or simple
for the area. See “Authentication” on page 357 for more information
about using OSPF authentication.
Figure 8-6 shows an example of a router that is connected to a multicast
