Applying the Keychain

Context

The keychain only takes effect after it is applied to an application.

This section uses RIP as an example to describe how to apply the keychain to applications. Different applications may use different commands to apply the Keychain. Table 1 lists the commands used by different applications.

**Table 1** Protocols that support the keychain authentication
Protocol	Link
RIP	rip authentication-mode
MSDP	peer keychain(MSDP)
OSPF	authentication-mode (OSPF) ospf authentication-mode
IS-IS	area-authentication-mode isis authentication-mode
BGP\BGP4+	peer keychain (BGP)
MPLS LDP	authentication key-chain
MPLS RSVP	mpls rsvp-te authentication

Procedure

Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
Run interface vlanif vlanif-id
The VLANIF interface view is displayed.
Run rip authentication-mode md5 nonstandard { keychain keychain-name | { plain plain-text | [ cipher ] password-key } key-id }
The keychain used by RIP is configured.
