Command Mode
Key-chain key configuration
Usage Guideline
Specify a start-time value and one of the following values: infinite, end-time, or
duration seconds.
if lifetimes are to be configured on keys, then it is recommended to use Network
Time Protocol (NTP) or another similar time synchronization method.
When there are multiple keys that are valid at a time, the first valid key will be
used. If there are no valid keys during a specific period of time, then no
authentication will be performed.
Syntax Description
START-TIME
The beginning time that the key specified, by the key command, is valid to be
received. The syntax can be either of the following:
HH:MM:SS MONTH DATE YEAR
HH:MM:SS DATE MONTH YEAR
HH-hours MM-minutes SS-seconds MONTH-first three letters of the month
DATE-date (1-31) YEAR-year (four digits)
The default start time and the earliest acceptable date is January 1, 1993.
infinite
Key is valid to be sent from the start-time value on and will not expire.
END-TIME
Key is valid to be sent from the start-time value until the end-time value.The
syntax is the same as that for the START-TIME. The end-time value must be
after the start-time value. The default end time is an infinite time period.
duration
SECONDS
Length of time (in seconds) that the key is valid to be sent. The range is from 1 to
