Usage Guidelines
OSPF packet authentication enables routers to use predefined passwords and participate
within a routing domain. The two authentication modes are:
MD-5 – MD-5 authentication is a
cryptographic authentication mode, where every router has a key (password) and
key-id configured on it. This key and key-id together form the message digest that
is appended to the OSPF packet.
Simple Password – Simple password
authentication allows a password (key) to be configured per area. Routers in the
same area and participating in the routing domain have to be configured with the
same key.
