Section 5.20.9.4
Adding a Key
Keys (or shared secrets) are used to authenticate communications over a RIP network. To maintain network
stability, each key is assigned an accept and send lifetime.
The accept lifetime is the time period in which the key is accepted by the device.
The send lifetime is the time period in which they key can be sent to other devices.
This is referred to as hitless authentication key rollover, a method for seamlessly updating authentication keys
without having to reset network sessions.
To add a key to a key chain, do the following:
1. Change the mode to Edit Private or Edit Exclusive.
2. Navigate to routing » dynamic » rip » key-chain » {name} » key, where {name} is the name of the key
chain.
3. Click <Add key>. The Key Settings form appears.
