Example

This example shows how to enable OSPF MD5 authentication on a sham link between two PE routers with a source address of 172.16.1.10 and a destination address of 172.16.2.20 on OSPF router instance 10, VRF doc, set the key identifier to 20, and set the password to passone:

System(su)->router doc
System(su-doc)->configure
System(su-doc-config)->router ospf 10
System(su-doc-config-ospf-10)->enable-pe-ce
System(su-doc-config-ospf-10)->area 10 sham-link 172.16.1.10 172.16.2.20 message-digest-key 20 md5 passone
