Quidway S8500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 3 OSPF Configuration Commands
Huawei Technologies Proprietary
3-4
Parameter
simple: Uses simple text authentication mode.
md5: Uses MD5 cipher text authentication mode.
Description
Use the authentication-mode command to configure one area of OSPF to support the
authentication attribute.
Use the undo authentication-mode command to cancel the authentication attribute of
this area.
By default, an area does not support authentication attribute.
All the routers in one area must use the same authentication mode (no authentication,
simple text authentication or MD5 cipher text authentication). If the mode of supporting
authentication is configured, all routers on the same segment must use the same
authentication key. To configure a simple text authentication key, use the ospf
authentication-mode simple command. Use the ospf authentication-mode md5
command to configure the MD5 cipher text authentication key if the area is configured
to support MD5 cipher text authentication mode.
Related command: ospf authentication-mode.
Example
# Enter area 0 view.
[Quidway-ospf-1] area 0
# Specify the OSPF area 0 to support MD5 cipher text authentication:
[Quidway-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0] authentication-mode md5
