    EIGRP: 2. How to enable EIGRP authentication

    Technology: Routing
    Area: IGP
    Vendor: Cisco
    Software: 12.X , 15.X, IP Base, IP Services
    Platform: Catalyst 3560, 3750, 3850, 4500, 6500, ISR Routers

    EIGRP authentication supports MD5. If enabled, routers authenticates the source of each routing update packet that they receive. Following configuration prevents intruder from establishing fake EIGRP adjacency. The consequence of fake adjacency can be for example CPU over utilization or routing table poisoning.

    Define Key chain:

    Router(config)#key chain KEY_CHAIN
    Router(config-keychain)#key 1
    Router(config-keychain-key)#key-string KEY_STRING

    Enable authentication on interface level:


    Router(config)#interface fastEthernet 0/1
    Router(config-if)#ip authentication mode eigrp 100 md5
    Router(config-if)#ip authentication key-chain eigrp 100 KEY_CHAIN
