Hi,

Reading this doc confused me about how to enable MD5 authentication on CSNP/PSNP packets.

On the first part it made me think that configuring authentication on interface I would get CSNP/PSNP authentication.
Then, it shows an example saying that CSNMP/PSNP authentication is achieve with IS-IS instance authentication.

Any clarification appreciated.

==================================
quoted

The interface-related PDUs (LAN Hello, Serial Hello, CSNP, and PSNP) can be enabled
with authentication on different interfaces, with different levels and different passwords
.

.
The following example configures a key chain and key for IS-IS HMAC-MD5 authentication for Ethernet interface 3 (on Hello packets)
 and for the IS-IS instance (on LSP, CSNP, and PSNP packets):
