Configuring Authentication

OSPF provides a measure of security for an area through the use of passwords. If

an area is configured to use authentication, all OSPF interfaces configured in that

area must be configured with the same password. Different networks can have

different passwords.

In such an area, a router that receives a packet verifies the password before it

processes the packet. Unauthorized routers are not allowed to communicate with

the OSPF system.

By default, authentication is disabled in an area. You can use the BCC or Site

Manager to enable authentication and specify a password.

Using the BCC

To enable authentication, navigate to an OSPF area prompt (for example,

box; ip;

ospf; area/0.0.0.2

) and enter:

authentication-type simplepassword

After you enable authentication on the area, you can specify a password. Navigate

to the OSPF interface prompt (for example,

box; eth 2/2; ip/2.2.2.2/255.255.0.0;

ospf

) and enter:

authentication
