None.
IS-IS router configuration.
Configuring an area password enables authentication on the device.
A key chain or area password can be configured for the device, but not both a key chain and password. If a key chain is configured for the device, it must be removed before attempting to configure an area password. The area password can be overridden by configuring either a key chain or a password on the interface. A device level area password can coexist with an interface key chain because the interface is checked first, and if either an interface key chain or password exist, the device level configuration is not checked.
The “no” form of this command deletes the specified area password.
This example shows how to set the area password to docpass:
