OSPF/4/OSPF_IF_AUTH_FAILURE

Message

OSPF/4/OSPF_IF_AUTH_FAILURE: A packet is received on a non-virtual interface from a router whose authentication key or authentication type conflicts with the local authentication key or authentication type. (RouterId=[RouterId], IfIpAddress=[IfIpAddress], AddressLessIf=[AddressLessIf], PacketSrc=[PacketSrc], ConfigErrorType=[ConfigErrorType], PacketType=[PacketType], AreaId=[AreaId])

Description

The authentication on the non-virtual interface failed. The possible cause is that the configuration on the non-virtual interface of the peer end conflicted with the configuration of the local end.

Parameters

Parameter Name	Parameter Meaning
RouterId	Router ID of the local device
IfIpAddress	IP address of the non-virtual interface
AddressLessIf	Interface index
PacketSrc	Source IP address of packets
ConfigErrorType	Error type
PacketType	Packet type ID
AreaId	OSPF area ID

Possible Causes

The authentication mode configured on the non-virtual interface was incorrect.

Procedure

1. Run the display current-configuration command to check whether the authentication information on both ends is consistent.

If they are consistent, go to Step 3.
If they are inconsistent, go to Step 2.

2. Perform either of the following operations based on the networking condition:

If the configurations on both ends can be changed to be the same, go to Step 3.
If the configurations on both ends cannot be changed to be the same, go to Step 4.

3. If cleartext authentication is used, change the authentication passwords to be the same. If ciphertext authentication is used, reconfigure the authentication passwords on both ends as required. Then check whether the alarm is cleared.

If the alarm is cleared, go to Step 5.
If the alarm persists, go to Step 4.

4. Contact technical support.

5. End.
