Chapter 4 - Layer 3 Command Set - IP Networking OSPFv2 (Dynamic Routing Protocol Module)
Alvarion BreezeNET B130/B300 GigE 160 Operational User Manual
As a secret key is never send over the network in a clear form, this gives a
protection from passive attacks.
By default, the device does not have any authentication (null-authentication).
Authentication can be configured individually for each interface's link (or for the
interface including virtual link) and/or individually for every area to which the
router is connected.
For interfaces authentication parameters are configured using the following
commands in config-if mode:
1 Password authentication:
authentication-key AUTH_KEY [A.B.C.D]
where AUTH_KEY - password, IP-address is an optional parameter when
individual link configuration is required.
2 Cryptographic authentication:
message-digest-key <1-255> md5 KEY [A.B.C.D]
where KEY - secret MD5 key, IP-address of the link in case of individual link
configuration. <1-255> - a serial number of a secret key. Thus for the current link
or interface one can configure up to 255 secret keys. For packets sending the
router will use the latter keys among configured. For packets receiving the router
will use the key with the same serial number as was used by the sender.
By setting up authentication parameters, one can turn it on by the config-if mode
commands:
Virtual links authentication is configured in the same way in config-router mode:
Parameters:
area (A.B.C.D|<0-4294967295>) virtual-link A.B.C.D
authentication-key AUTH_KEY
area (A.B.C.D|<0-4294967295>) virtual-link A.B.C.D
message-digest-key <1-255> md5 KEY
Type of authentication settings:
[(null|message-digest)] [A.B.C.D]
Authentication type. null - no authentication (obligatory
authentication suppression). With no parameter at all, a
simple password authentication is turned on.
IP-address of interface's link
