Hi Mac,

To do OSPF authentication there are 2 ways as i know. Area authentication
and interface auth (newer ios codes). When u do Area auth u do it on all
routers and their respective interfaces in that area. This is how it is:

Plaintext:

interface s0
ip ospf authentication-key cisco

router ospf 1
area 0 authentication

MD5:

interface s0
ip ospf message-digest-key 1 md5 cisco

router ospf 1
area 0 authentication message-digest

When u want to do "Interface authentication" for neighbors as Tim was
mentioning use the "ip ospf authentication commands" on the interface.
This need not be done on all interfaces of all routers in that area.Only
between the 2 routers where u want this to be done.HTH.

Good Luck,
Kasturi.
