Steve,
The "authentication" command you are looking for is performed inside
the
ospf process. You need to use the authentication key at the interface
level,
and then in your router process you use the "area x authentication"
command
where x is your area number.
You say that it works without this, but are you sure that it is
authenticated? Maybe you have a neighbor relationship, but it is
unauthenticated. Try mismatching the passwords and see if they still form
a
neighbor relationship. I think you will find that they still will, until
you
use the area based authentication command.
Mark

Troy,
Thanks for verifying that I'm not crazy ;-)
whenever I do a ? I only get an authentication-key keyword never the
authentication keyword. I am using 11.2 12.0 and 12.1
Cheers,
Steve

Steve,
Interestingly enough, the documentation shows that you are
correct. However, the old command may still be on the
routers:
Rack10_Router5(config-subif)#ip ospf ?
authentication Enable
authentication
authentication-key Authentication password
(key)
Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software
IOS (tm) 2500 Software (C2500-JS-L), Version 12.0(14), RELEASE
SOFTWARE
(fc1)
C
I configured authentication using only the authentication-key command
and
it works fine.

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
