Usage guidelines
The password in the specified mode is inserted into all outbound Level-1 packets (LSP, CSNP, and PSNP)
and is used to authenticate inbound Level-1 packets.
Area authentication enables IS-IS to discard routes from untrusted routers.
Routers in an area must have the same authentication mode and password.
If neither ip nor osi is specified, OSI-related fields are checked.
For security purposes, all passwords, including passwords configured in plain text, are saved in cipher
text.
Examples
# Configure the area authentication mode as simple, and set the plaintext password to 123456.
<Sysname> system-view

Usage guidelines
After automatic link cost calculation is enabled, the link cost is automatically calculated based on the
bandwidth reference value of an interface. When the cost-style is wide or wide-compatible, the cost
value of an interface is calculated by using the formula: Cost = (reference bandwidth value / link
bandwidth) × 10. For other cost styles, Table 50 a
pplies.
