[j-nsp] 5.7R2.4 another issue: OSPF authentication with Zebra

[Raymond Cheh]

Matti,

With JUNOS 5.7, there are 2 ways to set OSPF authentication,

set protocols ospf area <area-id> interface <intf> authentication ...

or,

set protocols ospf area <area-id> authentication-type <type>
set protocols ospf area <area-id> interface <intf> authentication-key ..

Only the latter will work in 5.6 and the only way I can think of
to have both md5 and simple-password "configured" in a 5.6 router
is to have such configured in 5.7 and have it downgraded, in which
case, the configuration using the first method should be ignored.
This is only a guess.

Please let me know if there are more issues concerning this. Thank
you.
