specified as shell-like pattern.
An interface matches the pattern if it matches any of its
clauses. If the clause begins with <cf/-/, matching interfaces are
excluded. Patterns are parsed left-to-right, thus
<cf/interface "eth0", -"eth*", "*";/ means eth0 and all
non-ethernets.
An interface option can be used more times with different
interfaces-specific options, in that case for given interface
the first matching interface option is used.
This option is allowed in Direct, OSPF and RIP protocols,
but in OSPF protocol it is used in <cf/area/ subsection.
Default: none.
Examples:
<cf>interface "*" { type broadcast; };</cf> - start the protocol on all interfaces with
<cf>type broadcast</cf> option.
<cf>interface "eth1", "eth4", "eth5" { type pointopoint; };</cf> - start the protocol
on enumerated interfaces with <cf>type pointopoint</cf> option.
<cf>interface -192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.0.0/16;</cf> - start the protocol on all
interfaces that have address from 192.168.0.0/16, but not
from 192.168.1.0/24.
<cf>interface -192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.0.0/16;</cf> - start the protocol on all
interfaces that have address from 192.168.0.0/16, but not
from 192.168.1.0/24.
<cf>interface "eth*" 192.168.1.0/24;</cf> - start the protocol on all
ethernet interfaces that have address from 192.168.1.0/24.
<tag><label id="dsc-pass">password "<m/password/" [ { id <m/num/; generate from <m/time/; generate to <m/time/; accept from <m/time/; accept to <m/time/; } ]</tag>
Specifies a password that can be used by the protocol. Password option can
be used more times to specify more passwords. If more passwords are
specified, it is a protocol-dependent decision which one is really
used. Specifying passwords does not mean that authentication is
enabled, authentication can be enabled by separate, protocol-dependent
<cf/authentication/ option.
This option is allowed in OSPF and RIP protocols. BGP has also
<cf/password/ option, but it is slightly different and described
separately.
Default: none.

ID of the password, (0-255). If it's not used, BIRD will choose
ID based on an order of the password item in the interface. For
example, second password item in one interface will have default
ID 2. ID is used by some routing protocols to identify which
password was used to authenticate protocol packets.
