The following is a list of the Dell Networking OS version history for this command.
Version Description
9.1.(0.0) Introduced on the S4810 and Z9000.
8.4.2.0 Introduced on the E-Series TeraScale.
8.3.19.0 Introduced on the S4820T.
Usage
Information
Before you enable IPsec encryption on an OSPFv3 interface, first enable OSPFv3
globally on the router. Configure the same encryption policy (same SPI and keys)
on each interface in an OSPFv3 link.
An SPI value must be unique to one IPsec security policy (authentication or
encryption) on the router.
When you configure encryption for an OSPFv3 area with the area encryption
command, you enable both IPsec encryption and authentication. However, when
you enable authentication on an area with the area authentication command,
you do not enable encryption at the same time.
If you have enabled IPsec authentication in an OSPFv3 area with the area
authentication
command, you cannot use the area encryption command in
the area at the same time.
