Configure the authentication
mode of the OSPF interface
ospf
authentication-mode
{ simple password |
md5 key-id key }
Optional
By default, OSPF
packets are not
authenticated on an
interface.
Note:
z OSPF supports packet authentication and receives only those packets that are
successfully authenticated. If packet authentication fails, no neighboring
relationship will be established.
z The authentication modes for all routers in an area must be consistent. The
authentication passwords for all routers on a network segment must also be
consistent.
4.7.7 Configuring to Fill the MTU Field When an Interface Transmits DD
Packets
By default, an interface uses value 0 instead of its actual MTU value when
transmitting DD packets. After the following configuration, the actual MTU value of the
interface is filled in the Interface MTU field of the DD packets.
