Description
Set the authentication type.
Use the authentication keyword
to define the authentication used for
OSPF packets sent and received
over this virtual link. If you select
none, no authentication is used. If
you select text, the authentication
key is sent as plain text. If you select
md5, an authentication key is used to
generate an MD5 hash.
Both text mode and MD5 mode only
guarantee the authenticity of the
OSPF packet, not the confidentiality
of the information in the packet.
In text mode the key is sent in clear
text over the network. Text mode is
usually used only to prevent network
problems that can occur if an
unwanted or misconfigured router is
mistakenly added to the area.
Enter the password to use for text
authentication.
The authentication-key must
be the same on both ends of the
virtual link.
The maximum length for the
authentication-key is 15
characters.
The time, in seconds, to wait for a
hello packet before declaring a
router down. The value of the dead-
interval should be four times the
value of the hello-interval.
Both ends of the virtual link must use
the same value for dead-
interval.
The valid range for
seconds_integer is 1 to 65535.
The time, in seconds, between hello
packets.
Both ends of the virtual link must use
the same value for hello-
interval.
The valid range for
seconds_integer is 1 to 65535.
Enter the key ID and password to
use for MD5 authentication. Both
ends of the virtual link must use the
same key ID and key.
The valid range for id_integer is 1
to 255. key_str is an alphanumeric
string of up to 16 characters.
The router id of the remote ABR.
0.0.0.0 is not allowed.
