Series 3

You can set up Authentication Profiles for use in RIP and OSPF configurations. You can configure a 
simple password or specify a shared cryptographic key. Simple passwords allow for every packet to carry 
eight bytes of the password. The system ignores received packets lacking this password. Cryptographic 
keys allow for validation, a 16-byte long digest generated from a password to be appended to every 
packet.

Note that for OSPF, each area can have a different authentication method. Therefore, you create 
authentication profiles that can be shared among many areas. You cannot add authentication for OSPFv3.

To edit an authentication profile, click the edit icon (

). To delete an authentication profile, click the 

delete icon (

).
