Re: EIGRP Authentication

I have had problems with authentication also. Usually if I put the
commands on correct the first time, it works. If I make changes, even if
the changes are correct, sometimes there are problems.

If you feel certain your commands are correct, copy them to notepad,
remove from both routers, and reapply. Sometimes I also do this with the
entire routing process. Sometimes a reboot will solve authentication
mismatch problems, assuming your commands are correct. I think this is one
area where "order of operation" is important.
