Figure 12-2. Example of Adding and Displaying a Time-Independent Key to a Key Chain Entry
For example, to generate a new time-independent key for the Procurve1 key
chain entry:
Assigning Time-Dependent Keys to a Chain
A time-dependent key has Accept or Send time constraints. It is valid only
during the times that are defined for the key . If a time-dependent key is used,
there is usually more than one key in the key chain entry.
Syntax: [no] key-chain < chain_name > key < key_id >
[ key-string < key_str > ]
accept-lifetime < mm/dd/yy [ yy ] hh:mm:ss | now >
Generates or deletes a key in the key chain entry
< chain_name >. Using the optional no form of the
command deletes the key. The < key_id > is any
number from 0-255.
This option specifies the key value referenced by the
protocol using the key. The < key_str > can be any
string up to 14 characters in length.
Specifies the start date and time of the valid period
in which the switch can use this key to authenticate
inbound packets.

Adds a new Time-Independent
key to the "Procurve1" chain.
Displays keys in the key chain
entry.
