Usage Guidelines

The keychain authentication module provides OSPFv3 protocol the option to automatically change the key ID and cryptographic algorithm without manual intervention.

With this configuration, OSPFv3 requests the keychain authentication module for all active keys in the keychain and selects the keys for sending and accepting the packets.

The no form of the command removes keychain authentication from the OSPFv3 interface configuration.
