domain-password

Use this command to configure the IS-IS domain password for this device.

Syntax

domain-password password
no domain-password password

Parameters

password Specifies the password for routers that interconnect IS-IS domains.

Defaults

None.

Mode

IS-IS router configuration.

Usage

Configuring a domain password enables authentication on the device.

A key chain or domain 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 a domain password. The domain password can be overridden by configuring either a key chain or a password on the interface. A device level domain 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 removes the IS-IS domain password configuration for this device.

Example

This example shows how to configure the IS-IS domain password to Area1ToArea2:

System(rw)->configure
System(rw-config)->router isis
System(rw-config-isis)->domain-password Area1ToArea2
System(rw-config-isis)->
