Ospf Authentication-Mode - H3C s3600 series Command Manual

To run OSPF, a router must have a router ID specified. If no router ID is specified, the system will
automatically select one of the router interface IP addresses as the router ID.
If a router runs multiple OSPF processes, you are recommended to specify a router ID for each
process by using the ospf command.
Examples
# Enable OSPF process 120, with the Router ID being 10.110.1.8.

key: MD5 authentication key. If it is input in a plain text form, MD5 key is a string of 1 to 16 characters. It
is displayed in a cipher text form with 24 characters in length when the display current-configuration
command is executed. Inputting the MD5 key in a cipher text form with 24 characters in length is also

Description
Use the ospf authentication-mode command to configure the authentication mode and key between
adjacent routers.
Use the undo ospf authentication-mode command to cancel the authentication key that has been set.
By default, the interface does not authenticate the OSPF packets.
The passwords for authentication keys of the routers on the same network segment must be identical.
In addition, you need to use the authentication-mode command to set the authentication type of the
area, so as to validate the configuration.
