Configuring IP Routing

Configure EIGRP Route Authentication

EIGRP route authentication provides MD5 authentication of routing updates from the EIGRP routing
protocol to prevent the introduction of unauthorized or false routing messages from unapproved sources.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable authentication:
Command
Step 1
Router# configure terminal
Step 2
Router(config)# interface interface-id
Step 3
Router(config-if)# ip authentication
mode eigrp autonomous-system md5
Step 4
Router(config-if)# ip authentication
key-chain eigrp autonomous-system
key-chain
Step 5
Router(config-if)# exit
Step 6
Router(config)# key chain name-of-chain
Step 7
Router(config)# key number
Step 8
Router(config)# key-string text
Step 9
Router(config)# accept-lifetime
start-time {infinite | end-time |
duration seconds }
Step 10
Router(config)# send-lifetime start-time
{infinite | end-time | duration seconds }
Step 11
Router(config)# end
Step 12
Router# show key chain
Step 13
Router# copy running-config
startup-config
Use the no forms of these commands to disable the feature or to return the setting to the default value.
