Chapter 3 OSPF Configuration Commands
3Com Corporation

All the routers in one area must use the same authentication mode (no authentication,
supporting 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. And, 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.
[3Com -ospf-1] area 0
# Specify the OSPF area 0 to support MD5 cipher text authentication.
[3Com -ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0] authentication-mode md5
