Re: OSPF Secure way of AUTH

**Step one for configuring ospf authentication using message digest:**
Enable authentication for area or for interface
For area it is (config-router)# are 1 authen message-digest
Or
For only interface it is (config-if)#ip ospf authentication message-digest

**Step two Setup a key and password for per interface basis**
(config-if)# ip ospf message-digest-key 1 md5 YOURPASSWORD

If you want to do clear text authentication
**Step One enable authentication for area or interface**
For area it is (config-router)# are 1 authentication
Or
For only interface it is #ip ospf authentication

**Step two Setup password for per interface basis**
#ip ospf authentication-key YOURPASSWORD
