HP MSR2000/3000/4000 Router Series Layer 3 - IP Routing Command Reference

156
Syntax
For MD5/HMAC-MD5 authentication:
ospf authentication-mode { hmac-md5 | md5 } key-id { cipher cipher-string | plain plain-string }
undo ospf authentication-mode { hmac-md5 | md5 } key-id
For simple authentication:
ospf authentication-mode simple { cipher cipher-string | plain plain-string }
undo ospf authentication-mode simple
Default
No authentication is performed.

Parameters
hmac-md5: Specifies HMAC-MD5 authentication.
md5: Specifies MD5 authentication.
simple: Specifies simple authentication.
key-id: Specifies a key by its ID in the range of 1 to 255.
cipher: Sets a ciphertext key.
cipher-string: Specifies a ciphertext key. This argument is case sensitive. If simple is specified, the key must
be a string of 33 to 41 characters. If md5 or hmac-md5 is specified, the key must be a string of 33 to 53
characters.
plain: Sets a plaintext key.
plain-string: Specifies a plaintext key. This argument is case sensitive. If simple is specified, the key must
be a string of 1 to 8 characters. If md5 or hmac-md5 is specified, the key must be a string of 1 to 16
characters.
Usage guidelines
For security purposes, all keys, including keys configured in plain text, are saved in cipher text.
The interfaces attached to the same network segment must have the same key. You can specify either
MD5/HMAC-MD5 authentication or simple authentication for an OSPF interface. For
MD5/HMAC-MD5 authentication, you can configure multiple keys by executing this command multiple
times, and each command must have a unique key ID and key string.
To modify the key of an OSPF interface, perform the following key rollover configurations:
1. Configure a new MD5 authentication key for the interface. If the new key is not configured on
neighbor devices, MD5 authentication key rollover is triggered. During key rollover, OSPF sends
multiple packets that contain both the new and old MD5 authentication keys to make sure all
neighbor devices can pass the authentication.
2. Configure the new MD5 authentication key on all neighbor devices. When the local device
receives packets with the new key from all neighbor devices, it exits MD5 key rollover.
