Configuring Authentication Passwords

You can assign an authentication password for routers in Level 1 and for routers in Level 2.

Because Level 1 and Level 2 routers do not communicate with each other, you can assign different passwords for Level 1 routers and for Level 2 routers. However, if you want the routers in the level to communicate with each other, configure them with the same password.

To configure a simple text password, use the following commands.

  • Configure authentication password for an area. ROUTER ISIS mode area-password [hmac-md5] password The Dell Networking OS supports HMAC-MD5 authentication. This password is inserted in Level 1 LSPs, Complete SNPs, and Partial SNPs.
  • Set the authentication password for a routing domain. ROUTER ISIS mode domain-password [ encryption-type | hmac-md5] password The Dell Networking OS supports both DES and HMAC-MD5 authentication methods. This password is inserted in Level 2 LSPs, Complete SNPs, and Partial SNPs.
To view the passwords, use the show config command in ROUTER ISIS mode or the show running-config isis command in EXEC Privilege mode.

To remove a password, use either the no area-password or no domain-password commands in ROUTER ISIS mode.
