   Authentication type is set per area (thus "area X auth" command). The
   actual key (whether it is clear text or MD5 hash) is set per
   interface.

     Could any one tell me how to use ospf authentication?
     There is a command "ip ospf authentication-key" and "ip ospf
     message-digest-key" in interface configuration mode. There is
     another command "area x authentication [message-digest]". I want to
     know what is the relationship between these two commands.
     Document CD said that "ip ospf authentication-key" is used with
     "area x authentication" and "ip ospf message-digest-key" is used
     with "area x authentication message-digest-key". But I found that
     "ip ospf authentication-key" can be used with "area x
     authentication message-digest-key" and "ip ospf message-digest-key"
     can be used with "area x authentication".
     So could anyone tell me what is the relationship with these two
     commands on earth.
     ------------------
     I find that the authentication type is identified by "area x
     authen" command. ???
