Fix Recommendation

Configure the router to use encryption for routing protocol authentication.

OS10(config)# interface vlan 400
OS10(conf-if-vl-400)# ipv6 ospf 10 area 0.0.0.1
OS10(conf-if-vl-400)# ipv6 ospf authentication ipsec spi 4017 sha1 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890
OS10(conf-if-vl-400)#
OS10(conf-if-vl-400)# ip ospf 1 area 0.0.0.1
OS10(conf-if-vl-400)# ip ospf message-digest-key 1 md5 1234567812345678
OS10(conf-if-vl-400)# exit

Check Contents

Review the router configuration.

For every protocol that affects the routing or forwarding tables (where information is exchanged between neighbors), verify that neighbor router authentication is encrypting the authentication key.

Verify the routing protocols are configured to use encryption

!
interface vlan400
ipv6 ospf 10 area 0.0.0.1
ipv6 ospf authentication ipsec spi 4017 sha1 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890
...
ip ospf 1 area 0.0.0.1
ip ospf message-digest-key 1 md5 1234567812345678

If authentication is not encrypting the authentication key, this is a finding.
