The Start Date and End Date formats are determined by the System Date Format, set on the Set Date and
Time menu under the System Configuration menus.
•
The Start Time and End Time formats are determined by the System Time Format. The AM or PM pop-up
menus do not appear if the time format is 24 hour time.
•
The End Time Mode pop-up menu allows you to select either Date or Infinite. This determines whether or
not the key will expire at a specified time and date, or remain effective indefinitely.
End Date, End Time, and AM or PM do not appear if the End Time Mode is set to "Infinite". Infinite means
that the key begins when it begins, but it never expires. The acceptable year range is from 1904 – 2039.

key; or a negative start date, end date, or start time and end time range.
Changes to RIP Keys on all interfaces are immediately effective. This differs from the remainder of the RIP
configuration on the Ethernet LAN, which requires a reboot. It is important that the keys be able to change
dynamically, however, because the purpose of entering more than one key on an interface is to insure a smooth
transition between keys with no network outages.
