OSPF Authentication MD5

Question

Hi all, 
 looking at OSPF configuration, XG does not support authentication mechanisms. Do we need to open a feature request for that? Dealing with Cisco, for example, for security reason, MD5 is used and in this way XG cannot partecipate into OSPF. 
 Thanks

Hi Luk, You can actually configure MD5 or Text Authentication on the XG with SF-OS v15.01.0 MR-3, I believe it is possible with earlier releases as well and it is not configured globally but for greater flexibility per area. Go to System > Routing > OSPF and under "Areas" click <Add>, you will find here the Authentication options are None, Text and MD5
