network backdoor
To specify a backdoor route to a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) border router that provides better information about the network, use the network backdoor command in address family or router configuration mode. To remove an address from the list, use the no form of this command.

OSPF – configure a router-id
The route will select the hightest loopback address. If there are no loopbacks OSPF will assign the highest physical interface’s IP as the router id.
Always statically nail down the router-id.

Clear text is done under the inteface.
MD5 is done under the interface and under the routing process. OSPF supports multiple keys under a single interface for key rotation.
Don’t forget the virtual-links!
If a new router is added and you don’t want it to require authentication add IP OSPF AUTHENTICATION NULL under the interface.
FYI, authentication type configured at the interface level overrides the authentication type configured at the process level.

On low speed links use IP OSPF DEMAND-CIRCUIT to reduce periodic OSPF hello’s and update flooding.

A reference bandwidth of 40,000 results ina cost of 4.
40000 reference bandwidth/ 10000 interface bandwidth = 4
Set under the OSPF process.
auto-cost reference-bandwidth 40000
Make sure you set the same auto-cost value throughout the OSPF domain.
