Abstract:
This document describes the authentication of Intermediate System to Intermediate
System (IS-IS) Protocol Data Units (PDUs) using the Hashed Message Authentication Codes - Message Digest
5 (HMAC-MD5) algorithm as found in RFC 2104. IS-IS is specified in International
Standards Organization (ISO) 10589, with extensions to support Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) described
in RFC 1195. The base specification includes an authentication mechanism that allows for multiple
authentication algorithms. The base specification only specifies the algorithm for cleartext passwords. This document
proposes an extension to that specification that allows the use of the HMAC-MD5 authentication
algorithm to be used in conjunction with the existing authentication mechanisms. This
memo provides information for the Internet community.
