31.3.1.3. RIP Key Chains
The Key Chains table configures authentication keys used on the interfaces. By defining the keys in a
key chain, the same settings can be applied to multiple groups of interfaces. Without key chains the
same settings would have to be entered for each interface separately.
Key chains also allow multiple keys to be entered in a single key chain with a start time for when that
key should become valid as well as the duration the key is valid. This allows multiple keys to be set up
with automatic transitions from one key to the next over time.
A key consists of a key string, which is the value used for authentication. It also has the optional lifetime
to accept RIP messages with the key, and the optional lifetime to send RIP messages with that key.
