DETAILED STEPS
What to Do Next
After configuring a key identifier for the keychain, see the Configuring the Text for the Key String
section.
Configuring the Text for the Key String
This task configures the text for the key string.
Command or Action Purpose
Step 1
configure
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
key chain key-chain-name
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# key chain
isis-keys
Creates a name for the keychain.
Step 3
key key-id
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-isis-keys)# key 8
Creates a key for the keychain. The key ID number is
translated from decimal to hexadecimal to create the
command mode subprompt.
• Use the key-id argument as a 48-bit integer.
Step 4
end
or
commit
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-isis-keys-0x8)# end
or
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-isis-keys-0x8)#
commit
Saves configuration changes.
• When you issue the end command, the system prompts
you to commit changes:
Uncommitted changes found, commit them before
exiting (yes/no/cancel)?
[cancel]:
–
Entering yes saves configuration changes to the
running configuration file, exits the configuration
session, and returns the router to EXEC mode.
–
Entering no exits the configuration session and
returns the router to EXEC mode without
committing the configuration changes.
–
Entering cancel leaves the router in the current
configuration session without exiting or
committing the configuration changes.
• Use the commit command to save the configuration
changes to the running configuration file and remain
within the configuration session.
