Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

In batch upgrade and configuration scenarios, to enhance security for communication between the Commander and clients and prevent a bogus Commander from controlling clients, run the easy-operation shared-key command to configure the same shared key for the Commander and clients.

Precautions

The same shared key must be configured on the Commander and clients simultaneously.
If a shared key has been configured on the Commander, the Commander cannot manage clients running versions earlier than V200R008C00 and clients that have no shared key configured.
The shared key configuration does not affect zero touch device deployment.
After DTLS encryption is enabled, the shared key configured using the easy-operation shared-key command does not take effect.

Example
