I believe this is for changing the authentication on an interface (i.e., on
a subnet, since all routers must agree) so that it is different than the
area authentication. So you can set the area authentication and use the
commands you mentioned, but then you have the flexibility to override the
area authentication on an interface basis, so use:
for cleartext authentication:
r3(config-if)#ip ospf authentication
for MD5 authentication:
r3(config-if)#ip ospf authentication message-digest
to disable authentication:
r3(config-if)#ip ospf authentication null

Subject: OSPF: Authentication commands
Hi,
When configuring authentication for cleartext you use
(config-router)#area x authentication
(config-if)#ip ospf authentication-key [password]
When doing it for md5 you use
(config-router)#area x authentication message-digest
(config-if)#ip ospf message-digest-key [keyno] md5 [password]
My question is what is the need for the interface command
ip ospf authentication
The docs say it is new in 12.0 but why is it needed?
cheers,
niall
