Authentication

The router supports two authentication methods for IS-IS: simple authentication and hash function–based message authentication code (HMAC) MD5 authentication. These authentication methods prevent unauthorized routers from injecting false routing information into your network or forming adjacencies with your router.

By default, IS-IS authentication is disabled on the router until you enable it with the commands described in the following sections.
