Configure dynamic OSPF routing

mBox supports Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), which is a standard dynamic routing protocol and can inter-operate with 3rd-party devices as well.

mBox supports three types of peering scenario/authentication,

- No authentication

- pre-shared clear text authentication (Type 1)

- pre-shared MD5 cryptographic passwords (Type 2)with other vendor network appliances.

This example provides a brief guide on setting up a OSPF network using peer authentication using MD5.

Below is an example output "show ip route" from mBox A1 (note A2 static routes are correctly redistributed into OSPF)
