Normally, you should either put 0 or omit the argument altogether. It is
used to specify the encryption algorythm the next argument (a password) has
been encrypted. However, in your case you are supplying a plain text
password, and the system is attempting to decrypt it using Cisco's
encryption method.
If you had an encrypted version of a password, then you would be using 7.
Also, the system will place 7 when it encrypts the password and puts it in
the config - that way, you can simply cut and paste it on a different
device.
I am a bit sleepy, so hope that made sense?
ip os message-digest-key 50 md5 ?
<0-7> Encryption type (0 for not yet encrypted, 7 for proprietary)

Subject: OSPF Authentication
When using md5 ospf authenticaion what exactly is the meaning of this ->
ip ospf message-digest-key 50 md5 7 cisco
The key number is 50
auth type is md5
the password is cisco
the 7 is ????
My assumption is that it is the type of local router encryption that is
used to display the password when doing a sh run / sh run int xxx, etc.
The reason I'm asking is that in my testbed if I use a 7 I get
authenticaion mismtach errors but when I change the authentication
command to using a 1 instead it works fine.
thanks!
