Usage
The "no" form of this command sets the dead interval value to the default.

ip ospf authentication-key
Use this command to assign a password to be used by neighboring routers using OSPF's simple
password authentication.
Syntax
ip ospf authentication-key password
no ip ospf authentication-key
Parameters
password
Defaults
If password is not specified, the password will be set to a blank string.
Mode
Router command, Interface configuration: Matrix>Router(config‐if(Vlan 1))#
Usage
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 "area authentication" on
page 21‐32.
All neighboring routers on the same network must have the same password configured to be able
to exchange OSPF information.
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.
The "no" form of this command removes an OSPF authentication password on an interface.
Specifies an OSPF authentication password. Valid values are
alphanumeric strings up to 8 bytes in length.
