Usage guidelines
ISIS-SPB adjacency authentication guarantees that SPBM nodes establish adjacencies only with
trustworthy neighbors.
For correct authentication, make sure the authentication method and password are the same between
SPBM neighbors. ISIS-SPB sends these authentication settings in hello packets. The recipients accept a
hello packet only if the authentication settings in the packet match their local authentication settings.
To disable adjacency authentication for incoming ISIS-SPB hello packets, use the spbm authentication
send-only command.
Examples
# Set the adjacency authentication method to simple and the password to 123456 in plain text on
interface FortyGigE 1/0/1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface fortygige1/0/1
