what I've come to notice is that their isn't any ip ospf authentication
command only an authentication-key command. they do the same thing but when you

are using md5 you have to enter a key as well but for simple authentication you

just have to enter a password.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hope this helps,

Steve

Subject: OSPF authenication

Hi guys,

I was doing a simple OSPF authentication for an area.

I came across the an interface command 'ip ospf authentication'.

When do we use this command?

Below is what I had configure for the two router.

ROUTER A

interface Ethernet0

ip address 11.1.1.6 255.255.0.0

no ip directed-broadcast

ip ospf authentication-key cisco

!

router ospf 1

area 4 authentication

network 11.1.0.0 0.0.255.255 area 4

ROUTER B

interface Ethernet0

ip address 11.1.1.5 255.255.0.0

no ip directed-broadcast

ip ospf authentication-key cisco

!

router ospf 1

area 4 authentication

network 11.1.0.0 0.0.255.255 area 4

I'm only configuring simple authentication. Do I still need to
configure

'ip ospf authentication' after I had configure 'ip ospf
authentication-key'?

Really appriciate if someone could enlighten me!

Cheers
