  A.B.C.D  authentication 

[message-digest | null] 

Interface 

Enables authentication on OSPF interface. 
message-digest: MD5 encoding 
null: no encoding 
A.B.C.D: IP address for authentication

There are two ways of authentication by user selection, one is type based on text, and 
another is MD5 type. 

The authentication key must be consistent across all routers in an attached network.
