Configuring MD5 Routing Authentication
MD5 keys are used by the Message Digest-5 Authentication Algorithm. Start and end times, for
both sending and receiving, can be defined for each key. Keys that are active and expire at the reset
times can be configured. Interfaces that are inter-communicating must have the same Key ID. If
key times overlap on the send side, the device uses the key with the latest start time. When
receiving packets, the interface uses the key indicated by the
Key ID
value on the packet.
Use the
