Add OSPF Key Window

This window appears when you click Add in the Advanced Routing Configuration for OSPF window.

To add an OSPF key:

  1. In the Encryption Mode list, select md5 if you want the key to be encrypted when OSPF sends it. Otherwise, select text.
  2. In the Key Number field, enter a decimal number to identify an md5 key.
    This field is not needed for a text key, because you can have only one. If a text key exists and you create another, it replaces the existing key.
  3. In the Key String field, enter the characters that make up the key.
  4. Click OK.
