Use this command to assign a password to be used by neighboring routers using OSPF's simple
password authentication. This password is used as a "key" that is inserted directly into the OSPF
header in routing protocol packets. A separate password can be assigned to each OSPF network on
a per-interface basis.
ip ospf authentication-key password
NOTES: The password key set with this command will only be used when
authentication is enabled for an OSPF area using the area authentication command
described in
All neighboring routers on the same network must have the same password configured
to be able to exchange OSPF information.
