Parameters
md5: Specifies the MD5 authentication mode.
simple: Specifies the simple authentication mode.
cipher: Sets a ciphertext password.
cipher-string: Specifies a ciphertext password, a case-sensitive string of 33 to 53 characters.
plain: Sets a plaintext password.
plain-string: Specifies a plaintext password, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 16 characters.
ip: Checks IP-related fields in LSPs.
osi: Checks OSI-related fields in LSPs.
Usage guidelines
The password in the specified mode is inserted into all outbound Level-1 packets (LSP, CSNP, and PSNP)
and is used to authenticate inbound Level-1 packets.
Area authentication enables IS-IS to discard routes from untrusted routers.
Routers in an area must have the same authentication mode and password.
If neither ip nor osi is specified, OSI-related fields are checked.
For security purposes, all passwords, including passwords configured in plain text, are saved in cipher
text.
Examples
# Configure the area authentication mode as simple, and set the plaintext password to 123456.
