peer
Syntax [no] peer ip-address [create]
Context config>redundancy>multi-chassis
Description This command configures a multi-chassis redundancy peer.
Parameters ip-address — specifies a peer IP address. A multicast address is not allowed.
create — keyword required when first creating the configuration context. When the
context is created, you can navigate into the context without the create keyword.
authentication-key
Syntax authentication-key [authentication-key | hash-key] [hash | hash2]
no authentication-key
Context config>redundancy>multi-chassis>peer
Description This command configures the authentication key used between this node and the multi-
chassis peer. The authentication key can be any combination of letters or numbers.
Parameters authentication-key — specifies the authentication key. Allowed values are any string up
to 20 characters long composed of printable, 7-bit ASCII characters. If the string
contains special characters (#, $, spaces, etc.), the entire string must be enclosed
within double quotes.
hash-key — specifies the hash key. The key can be any combination of ASCII characters
up to 33 (hash1-key) or 55 (hash2-key) characters in length (encrypted). If spaces
are used in the string, the entire string must be enclosed within double quotes.
hash — specifies that the key is entered in an encrypted form. If the hash or hash2
parameter is not used, the key is assumed to be in a non-encrypted, clear text form.
For security, all keys are stored in encrypted form in the configuration file with the
hash or hash2 parameter specified.
hash2 — specifies that the key is entered in a more complex encrypted form that
involves more variables than the key value alone. This means that a hash2 encrypted
variable cannot be copied and pasted. If the hash or hash2 parameter is not used,
the key is assumed to be in a non-encrypted, clear text form. For security, all keys
are stored in encrypted form in the configuration file with the hash or hash2
parameter specified.
