Hi All,
According to RFC 5643 [Management Information Base for OSPFv3 ] in the section Authentication, its mentioned as below
“
2.3. Authentication
In OSPFv3, authentication has been removed from the protocol itself.
MIB objects related to authentication are not carried forward from
the OSPFv2 MIB module. “
However, with the publication of RFC 6503 [Supporting Authentication Trailer for OSPFv3], the statement above is no longer true. A revision to the MIB is required now.
I would like to suggest to update RFC 5643 to reflect the new MIB element of authentication for OSPFv3.
Regards,
- Tanmoy
