I guess tunnelling from hub to each spoke may work as well for different keys or passwords.

Well, also on interface authentication, if it is a hub and spoke like mentioned there is no way to only authenticate one spoke to the hub, unless you have seperate sub interfaces to each spoke.

I trust in 12.1T the authentication can be changed on interface level. Raj statement is true for 12.0 though.

Best regards,

Hey John,

The way I understand it, OSPF authen is on area basis which means that you can't authen some links in an area but not others - if authen is turned on for an area then all links must have authen. If I'm not 100% correct about this, please somebody set me straight right away. Raj
