What is rcStatOspfIfV2AuthFailures?

This deprecated counter tracks the number of OSPF authentication failures received on a network interface, indicating rejected routing protocol packets with invalid credentials. Network operators use this to detect configuration mismatches (mismatched OSPF keys) or potential intrusion attempts on OSPF connections. High counts warrant investigation of password/key synchronization across routers.
