Service Manual
For SHA-1 authentication, the key must be 40 hex digits (non-encrypted) or 80 hex digits
(encrypted).
Defaults Not configured.
Command Modes ROUTER OSPFv3
Command History
Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.2(0.0) Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage Information Before you enable IPsec authentication on an OSPFv3 area, you must first enable OSPFv3 globally on the router.
Configure the same authentication policy (same SPI and key) on each interface in an OSPFv3 link.
An SPI number must be unique to one IPsec security policy (authentication or encryption) on the router.
If you have enabled IPsec encryption in an OSPFv3 area with the area encryption command, you cannot use
the area authentication command in the area at the same time.
The configuration of IPsec authentication on an interface-level takes precedence over an area-level configuration.
If you remove an interface configuration, an area authentication policy that has been configured is applied to the
interface.
area encryption
Configure an IPsec encryption policy for OSPFv3 packets in an OSPFv3 area.
Syntax
area area-id encryption ipsec spi number esp encryption-algorithm [key-
encryption-type] key authentication-algorithm [key-encryption-type] key | null
To remove an IPsec encryption policy from an interface, use the no area area-id encryption spi
number command.
Parameters
area area-id
Area for which OSPFv3 traffic is to be encrypted. For area-id, enter a number.
The range is from 0 to 4294967295.
ipsec spi number
Security Policy index (SPI) value that identifies an IPsec security policy.
The range is from 256 to 4294967295.
esp encryption-
algorithm
Encryption algorithm used with ESP.
Valid values are: 3DES, DES, AES-CBC, and NULL.
For AES-CBC, only the AES-128 and AES-192 ciphers are supported.
key-encryption-
algorithm
(OPTIONAL) Specifies if the key is encrypted.
Valid values: 0 (key is not encrypted) or 7 (key is encrypted).
