Operating notes

  • If the authentication type MD5 is configured without a md5-auth-key-chain, the authentication will fail.

  • If the md5-auth-key-chain is configured but authentication type not set to MD5, the authentication will fail.

  • If the authentication type MD5 is configured and the md5-auth-key-chain is already configured, the MD5 authentication will begin working.

  • If the md5-auth-key-chain is configured but the authentication type set to MD5, the MD5 authentication will begin working.

  • When the MD5 authentication is working and you remove the md5-auth-key-chain, the MD5 authentication will fail.

  • When the MD5 authentication is working and you change authentication type to other than MD5, the MD5 authentication will fail.

  • When the MD5 authentication is working and you remove the used key-chain from global configuration, the request to remove the used keychain will fail.

  • When the MD5 authentication is working and you remove the key from key-chain in the global configuration, the MD5 authentication will not work.


    [NOTE: ]

    NOTE: HP recommends using a single key in the key-chain.


  • Only RIPv2 is allowed in supporting MD5 authentication.
