Configure IPV6 IS-IS Network Authentication
Configuration Condition
Before configuring the IPV6 IS-IS network authentication, first complete the following tasks:
- Configure the IPv6 address of the interface to enable the neighboring nodes to be reachable at the network layer.
- Enable the IPV6 IS-IS protocol.
Configure IPV6 IS-IS Neighboring Authentication
When the neighbor relationship authentication is enabled for the IS-IS, the authentication information will be added to the delivered Hello packet and the received Hello packet will be authenticated. If the authentication fails, the neighbor relationship will not be established. This can prevent the neighbor relationship being established with the unreliable devices.

Configure IPV6 IS-IS Route Authentication
When the routing information authentication is enabled for the IS-IS, the authentication information will be added to the LSP and SNP packets and the received LSP and SNP packets will be authenticated. If the authentication fails, the packet will be dropped directly. This can prevent the unreliable routing information spreading to the IS-IS network.
