All the switches in an area must agree on the same area authentication mode and
password. For example, the authentication mode of all switches in area 0 is simple
authentication, and the password is abc.
– Run:
authentication-mode keychain keychain-name
The Keychain authentication is configured for the OSPF area.
NOTE
Before using the Keychain authentication, you need to configure Keychain information in
the system view. To establish the OSPF neighbor relationship, you need to ensure that the
key-id, algorithm, and key-string of the local ActiveSendKey are the same as those of
the remote ActiveRecvKey.
Configuring the Interface Authentication Mode
1. Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
2. Run:
interface interface-type interface-number
The interface view is displayed.
3. Run the following commands to configure the interface authentication mode as
required:
– Run:
ospf authentication-mode simple [ [ plain ] plain-text | cipher cipher-
text ]
The simple authentication is configured for the OSPF interface.
– Run:
ospf authentication-mode { md5 | hmac-md5 } [ key-id { plain plain-
text | [ cipher ] cipher-text } ]
The MD5 authentication is configured for the OSPF interface.
– Run:
ospf authentication-mode null
The non-authentication mode is configured for the OSPF interface.
– Run:
ospf authentication-mode keychain keychain-name
The Keychain authentication is configured for the OSPF area.
NOTE
Before using the Keychain authentication, you need to configure Keychain information in
the system view. To establish the OSPF neighbor relationship, you need to ensure that the
key-id, algorithm, and key-string of the local ActiveSendKey are the same as those of
the remote ActiveRecvKey.
The authentication mode and password of interfaces in the same network segment
must be consistent except the Keychain authentication mode. If the interfaces are in
different network segments, the authentication mode and password of the interfaces
can be different.
