4-2
 Note:
Whether a password should use ip or osi is not affected by the actual network
environment.
Description
Use the area-authentication-mode command to specify the area authentication mode
and a password. The password in the specified mode is inserted into all outgoing
Level-1 packets (LSP, CSNP and PSNP) and is used for authenticating the incoming
Level-1 packets.
Use the undo area-authentication-mode command to restore the default.
No area authentication mode is specified by default, that is, the system will neither
authenticate incoming Level-1 packets nor set password for outgoing Level-1 packets.
With area authentication mode configured, the system will discard incoming routes
from untrusted routers.
