Release Information

Statement introduced before JUNOS Release 7.4.

Description

Authentication key (password). Neighboring routers use the password to verify the authenticity of packets sent from this interface. For the key to work, you also must include the authentication-type statement.

All routers must use the same password. If you are using the JUNOS IS-IS software with another implementation of IS-IS, the other implementation must be configured to use the same password for the domain, the area, and all interfaces adjacent to the Juniper router.

Default

If you do not include this statement and the authentication-type statement, IS-IS authentication is disabled.

Options

key—Authentication password. The password can be up to 1024 characters long.
Characters can include any ASCII strings. If you include spaces, enclose all characters in quotation marks (" ").

Usage Guidelines

See Configuring IS-IS Authentication.

Required Privilege Level

routing—To view this statement in the configuration.

routing-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
