IsisAuthenticationParams Writable Attributes

Attribute

Description

Authentication

Authentication method to use.

Type: enum

Default: NONE

Possible Values:

Value	Description
NONE	No authentication.
SIMPLE	ISIS packet is accepted by the receiving router if the password matches the authentication key that is included in the packet. This method provides little security because the authentication key can be learned by viewing the ISIS packets.
MD5	MD5 authentication.
HMAC_SHA_1	HMAC_SHA_1
HMAC_SHA_256	HMAC_SHA_256
HMAC_SHA_512	Digest generated with the algorithm HMAC-SHA-512

HmacShaKeyId

HMAC SHA Key ID

Type: u16

Default: 1

Md5KeyId

MD5 key ID. ISIS packet contains a cryptographic checksum, but not the authentication key itself. The receiving router performs a calculation based on the MD5 algorithm and an authentication key ID. The packet is accepted if the calculated checksum matches. This method provides a stronger assurance that routing data originated from a router with a valid authentication key.

Type: u8

Default: 1

Password

Used for authentication of ISIS messages. This is used as a password string for simple authentication, or as a key string for MD5.

If the SUT is configured to authenticate messages, this password must match the SUT password in order for the SUT to accept ISIS packets.

Type: string

Default: Spirent
