KEY-ID
Default
There are no keys configured on the key chain.
Command Mode
key-chain configuration
Usage Guideline
Only Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Version 2 uses key chains.
Using the
key
command will enter into the key-chain key configuration mode.
It is useful to have multiple keys on a key chain so that the software can
sequence through the keys as they become invalid over a period of time. This is
based on the
accept-lifetime
,
send-lifetime
and
key chain
key command
settings.
If the last key expires, authentication will be invalid.
If there was a discrepancy in the set time of the router's keys, the first valid key
will be chosen.
To remove all keys, remove the key chain with the
no key chain
command.
