RE: Per-interface authentication OSPF

I have run across exactly the same problem, and I don't think the "area
... authentication" command will do the trick. That area command makes
sure that the entire area uses authentication (this would include all
interfaces in the area), which does not solve the requirement.

I grabbed this off of Cisco's site:

To support per-interface authentication type as described in
RFC2178, the following command is added for interface configuration
mode:
ip ospf authentication [message-digest | null]

Cisco added this to 12.0(7.3)

But like Robert says, it doesn't seem to work.

Hi Robert,

By the look of it your authentication under OSPF is a bit messed up.
Firstly
you need "area ... authentication.." command under OSPF routing process
to
actually enable it. Secondly If you have multipoint interface on your
hub
with configured authentication on it, all spokes "plugged in" via that
subinterface will have to have authentication enabled. In other words
the
spoke with no autentication configured will never talk to the hub with
one
configured (unless it is via different interface on the hub with no auth

configured on it)

Hope this helps
J.
