Any continuous string of characters that can be entered from the keyboard up to 8 bytes in length. The syntax is a general string that does not allow spaces. Default Command Mode Usage Guideline Example None Interface configuration This command creates a password (key) that is inserted into the OSPF header when the router originates routing protocol packets. Assign a separate password to each network for different interfaces. All neighboring routers on the same network with the same password exchange OSPF routing data. Use the ip ospf authentication command to enable authentication. Simple password authentication allows a password to be configured for each interface. Configure the routers in the same routing domain with the same password. In the following example, an authentication key test is created on interface VLAN 1 in area 0. Note that first authentication is enabled for area 0. Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# interface vlan1 Switch(config-if)# ip ospf authentication-key test Switch(config-if)# ip ospf authentication Verify the settings by entering the show ip ospf interface command CLI Reference Guide 277
