If the encrypt-key parameter is used to configure the password through the CLI, then its value should be
the same as the one that appears in the configuration snapshot.
Note. By default, the authentication is disabled and no authentication type is configured
Simple Authentication
Simple authentication works by including the password in the packet. This helps to protect the routers
from a configuration mishap.
To enable simple authentication with plain text key on a router, enter the ip isis auth-type command, as
shown:
-> ip isis auth-type simple key 12345
Here, only routers with simple authentication and simple key “12345” will be able to use the configured
interface.
You can also use the encrypt-key parameter to configure the password by supplying the encrypted form
of the password.
-> ip isis auth-type simple encrypt-key 31fa061a5de5d1a8
If the encrypt-key parameter is used to configure the password through the CLI, then its value should be
the same as the one that appears in the configuration snapshot.
Note. Only valid system generated values are accepted as encrypt-key.
