How to Configure MD5 for OSPF

Hello everyone,

I've searched quite a bit in the Sophos Firewall and i've turned up nothing. Where do i configure MD5 authentication for OSPF?

I do not mean enable MD5 authentication. I'm asking where i go to set the Message Digest Key and password. Because when i enable it, it doesn't ask me to configure either of those things.

I am using XGS136

Probably needs to be done from the CLI (some dynamic routing options for OSPF, BGP are not accessible in the GUI)... see example: OSPF configuration steps - Sophos Firewall and Route configuration - Sophos Firewall .... essentially the daemon they use copies Cisco pretty closely in terms of commands used. I think the daemon is FRR see Frr - Gentoo wiki

Please try it at "Routing / OSPF / Networks & areas / Override interface configuration"

Under Routing->OSPF->Override Interface configuration, select the interface for which the MD5 authentication is to be configured and use the parameter "Authentication" to select MD5 and then set the Key ID and Key. Save the config.
