OSPF
MD5 Key Table Configuration
The MD5 Key Table Configuration menu allows the entry of a 16-character Message Digest − version
5 (MD5) key that can be used to authenticate every packet exchanged between OSPF routers. It is used
as a security mechanism to limit the exchange of network topology information to the OSPF routing
domain.
MD5 Keys created here can be used in the OSPF Interface Configuration menu below.
