User Guidelines
It is useful to have multiple keys on a key chain so that the software can sequence through the
keys as they become invalid after time, based on the accept-lifetime and send-lifetime key
chain key command settings.
Authentication keys and their key strings, which are to be included in the key chain should be
defined prior to configuring the key chain. Authentication keys are defined by the key
(global) command
If the last key expires, authentication stops and an error message is generated.
Example
The following example identifies two authentication keys, number 1 and 2, on a key chain keygroup
called "M".
Console (config)# key-chain M
Console (config-keychain)# key 1
Console (config-keychain)# key 2
