Description
Set the authentication type.
Use the authentication keyword to
define the authentication used for OSPF
packets sent and received in this area. 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.
If you configure authentication for
interfaces, the authentication configured
for the area is not used. Authentication
passwords or keys are defined per
interface. See "config ospf-interface" on
page 182.
Enter the metric to use for the summary
default route in a stub area or not so
stubby area (NSSA). A lower default
cost indicates a more preferred route.
The valid range for cost_integer is 1
to 16777214.
Enter enable to advertise a default
route in a not so stubby area. Affects
NSSA ABRs or NSSA Autonomous
System Boundary Routers only.
Specify the metric for the default route
set by the nssa-default-
information-originate keyword.
Specify the OSPF external metric type
for the default route set by the nssa-
default-information-originate
keyword.
Enable or disable redistributing routes
into a NSSA area.
