If you are doing area authentication you don't need the " ip ospf
authentication" under the interface as the authentication is already defined
under the OSPF process for the area.

You are not using the CISCO password. You can change the password to
something else on one side and still form adj. and exchange routes. The
password is set to null(I think thats the default) on both sides.
I have been wrong before,

Subject: ospf authentication methods
hello all,
I have a wierd question. Recently, I was configuring ospf
authentication on an area. I used the usual commands but I used one for
md5 authentication (ip ospf message-digest-key) and one that is used for
clear text (ip ospf authentication)...and it still worked! Any thoughts
to why? I tried debuging the packets and the ospf events but I couldn't
see anything shed any light.
the commands:
R1 and R2:
interface fa0/0
ip ospf authentication
ip ospf message-digest-key 1 md5 CISCO
cheers,
Jimmy
