Nexus 5500 or 6000 support for OSPFv3 auth

[from88]

Hello,

I've started configuring OSPFv3 for DC network and started to see that there's no feature imp command, which would enable the authentification for OSPFv3. Do i'm missing here something ?

Because on Nexus 9Ks i see the feature imp command and i can enable auth for OSPFv3 successfully there. Digged through some manuals - no information that 5k or 6k series are missing that.

Maybe you know - do OSPv3 auth is supported on Nexus 5k or 6k series at all ? Thanks

hey,

i've seen that documentations, and actually they dont say or show as example that auth for n5k is available:

N5K-C5548UP system: version 7.3(8)N1(1)

SwitchA(config)# feature i?
  interface-vlan  Enable/Disable interface vlan
  isis            Enable/Disable IS-IS Unicast Routing Protocol (IS-IS)
  itd             Enable/Disable ITD

While on n9k imp is available:

COREA(config)# feature i?
  icam            Enable/Disable icam
  imp             Enable/Disable IMP
  interface-vlan  Enable/Disable interface vlan
  isis            Enable/Disable IS-IS Unicast Routing Protocol (IS-IS)
  itd             Enable/Disable ITD

Yes, thanks, but according Cisco NX-OS Licensing Guide its enough to have LAN_BASE_SERVICES_PKG license.

Anyhow, i've Enterprese services license also:

So, i still think nexus 5k and 6k doesnt have authentification for OSPFv3.
