Enabling OSPFv2 Authentication
To enable or change various OSPF authentication parameters, use the following commands.
• Set a clear text authentication scheme on the interface.
CONFIG-INTERFACE mode
ip ospf authentication-key key
Configure a key that is a text string no longer than eight characters.
All neighboring routers must share password to exchange OSPF information.
• Set the authentication change wait time in seconds between 0 and 300 for the interface.
CONFIG-INTERFACE mode
ip ospf auth-change-wait-time seconds
This setting is the amount of time OSPF has available to change its interface authentication type.
During the auth-change-wait-time, OSPF sends out packets with both the new and old
authentication schemes.
This transmission stops when the period ends.
The default is 0 seconds.
Configuring Virtual Links
Areas within OSPF must be connected to the backbone area (Area ID 0.0.0.0).
If an OSPF area does not have a direct connection to the backbone, at least one virtual link is required.
Configure virtual links on an ABR connected to the backbone.
