Description
■ Use the area-authentication-mode command to configure ISIS to
authenticate the received level-1 routing information packets (LSP, CSNP and
PSNP), according to the pre-defined mode and password.
■ Use the undo area-authentication-mode command to configure ISIS not to
authenticate the said packets.
In default configuration, the system will not authenticate the received level-1
routing packets, and there is no password. By using this command, you can clear
all the level-1 routing packets, whose area authentication passwords do not
consistent with the one set via this command. At the same time, this command
will let ISIS insert the area authentication password into all the level-1 routing
packets sent by this node, in a certain mode.
