Configuring EIGRP Route Authentication

EIGRP route authentication provides MD5 authentication of routing updates from the EIGRP routing
protocol to prevent the introduction of unauthorized or false routing messages from unapproved sources.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable authentication:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
interface interface-id
Step 3 ip authentication mode eigrp autonomous-system md5
Step 4 ip authentication key-chain eigrp autonomous-system
key-chain
Step 5
exit
Step 6
key chain name-of-chain
Step 7 key number
Step 8
key-string text
Step 9
accept-lifetime start-time {infinite | end-time | duration
seconds}
Step 10
send-lifetime start-time {infinite | end-time | duration
seconds}
Step 11
end
Step 12
show key chain
Step 13
