Configuring routing domain authentication

Routing domain authentication prevents untrusted routing information from entering into a routing domain. A router with the authentication configured encapsulates the password in the specified mode into Level-2 packets (LSP, CSNP, and PSNP) and check the password in received Level-2 packets.

All the routers in the backbone must have the same authentication mode and password.
