area virtual-link authentication
This command configures the authentication type and key for the OSPF virtual interface identified
by <areaid> and <neighbor>. The <neighbor> parameter is the Router ID of the
neighbor. The value for <type> is either none, simple, or encrypt. The [key] is composed of
standard displayable, non-control keystrokes from a Standard 101/102-key keyboard. The
authentication key must be 8 bytes or less if the authentication type is simple. If the type is
encrypt, the key may be up to 16 bytes. Unauthenticated interfaces do not need an authentication
key. If the type is encrypt, a key id in the range of 0 and 255 must be specified.The default value
for authentication type is none. Neither the default password key nor the default key id are
configured.
Default
none
