Usage guidelines
A key becomes a valid accept key when the following requirements are met:
•
A key string has been configured.
•
An authentication algorithm has been specified.
•
The system time is within the specified receiving lifetime.
If an application receives a packet that carries a key ID, and the key is valid, the application uses the
key to authenticate the packet. If the key is not valid, packet authentication fails.
If the received packet does not carry a key ID, the application uses all valid keys in the keychain to
authenticate the packet. If the packet does not pass any authentication, packet authentication fails.
An application can use multiple valid keys to authenticate packets received from a peer.
Examples
# Set the receiving lifetime for key 1 of keychain abc in absolute time mode.
