Configuring an Authentication Mode for a Multi-Area Adjacency Interface

Procedure

1. Run system-view

   The system view is displayed.

2. Run interface interface-type interface-number

   The interface view is displayed.

3. Run ospf enable [ process-id ] area area-id

   OSPF is enabled on the interface.

4. Run ospf enable multi-area area-id

   OSPF is enabled on the multi-area adjacency interface.

5. Run either of the following commands:

   • Run the ospf authentication-mode simple [ plain plain-text | [ cipher ] cipher-text ] multi-area area-id command to configure simple authentication for the multi-area adjacency interface.

   • Run the ospf authentication-mode { md5 | hmac-md5 | hmac-sha256 } [ key-id { plain plain-text | [ cipher ] cipher-text } ] multi-area area-id command to configure ciphertext authentication for the multi-area adjacency interface.

   • Run the ospf authentication-mode keychain keychain-name multi-area area-id command to configure keychain authentication for the multi-area adjacency interface.

   • Run the ospf authentication-mode null multi-area area-id command to configure null authentication for the multi-area adjacency interface.

6. Run commit

   The configuration is committed.
