Encrypt - If you select 'Encrypt' you will be prompted to enter both an authentication key and an
authentication ID. Encryption uses the MD5 Message-Digest algorithm. All routers on the network
must be configured with the same key and ID.
Authentication Key - Enter the OSPF Authentication Key for the specified interface. If you do not
choose to use authentication you will not be prompted to enter a key. If you choose 'simple' or 'encrypt'
the key may be up to 16 octets long. The key value will only be displayed if you are logged on with
Read/Write privileges, otherwise it will be displayed as asterisks.
