AlliedWare Plus™ Operating System - Version 5.5.3-0.x
OSPFV3 FOR IPV6 COMMANDS
AREA
AUTHENTICATION IPSEC SPI
area authentication ipsec spi
Overview Use this command in Router Configuration mode to enable either MD5
(Message-Digest 5) or SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) authentication for a
specified OSPF area.
Use the no variant of this command in Router Configuration mode to disable the
authentication configured for a specified OSPF area.
Syntax
area <area-id> authentication ipsec spi <256-4294967295> {md5
<MD5-key>|sha1 <SHA1-key>}
no area <area-id> authentication ipsec spi <256-4294967295>
Mode Router Configuration
Usage notes Use this command on an OSPFv3 area; use the area virtual-link authentication
ipsec spi command on an OSPFv3 area virtual link. Configure the same SPI (Security
Parameters Index) value on all interfaces that connect to the same link. SPI values
are used by link interfaces. Use a different SPI value for a different link interface
when using OSPFv3 with link interfaces.
Use the sha1 keyword to choose SHA-1 authentication instead of entering the
md5 keyword to use MD5 authentication. The SHA-1 algorithm is more secure
than the MD5 algorithm. SHA-1 uses a 40 hexadecimal character key instead of a
32 hexadecimal character key as used for MD5 authentication.
See the OSPFv3 Feature Overview and Configuration Guide for more information
and examples.
Parameter Description
<area-id> The OSPF area that you are specifying the summary route default-
cost for. This can be entered in either dotted decimal format or
normal decimal format. Use one of the following formats:
<ip-addr> OSPF area-ID expressed in IPv4 address
format A.B.C.D.
<0-4294967295> OSPF area-ID expressed as a decimal number
within the range shown.
For example, the values 0.0.1.2 and decimal 258 would both define
the same area-ID.
<256-
4294967295>
Specify an SPI (Security Parameters Index) value in the range 256 to
4294967295, entered as a decimal integer.
md5 Specify the MD5 (Message-Digest 5) hashing algorithm.
<MD5-key> Enter an MD5 key containing up to 32 hexadecimal characters.
sha1 Specify the SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) hashing algorithm.
<SHA1-key> Enter an SHA-1 key containing up to 40 hexadecimal characters.
