send-time date

Function

The send-time command makes a key act as a send key for the specified interval of time.

The undo send-time command deletes the send-time configuration.

By default, no send-time is configured.

Format

send-time date start-date to end-date

send-time date { start-date } &<1-31>

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
start-date	Specifies the start date of the month to be configured as the send date for the given key. <startDate>&<1-31> specifies the dates of the month. A maximum of 31 can be configured.	The value ranges from 1 to 31.
to	Acts as a separator.	-
end-date	Specifies the end send date of the month.	The value ranges from 2 to 31. The end date should be greater than the start date.
date	Specifies the dates of the month.	-

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Each keychain consists of multiple key IDs that are valid within different time periods and each key ID is configured with an authentication algorithm. When a key ID becomes valid, the corresponding authentication algorithm is used, ensuring the dynamic change of authentication algorithms. Configure different key IDs for packet sending and receiving to be valid within different time periods.

Implementation Procedure

There are two keychain validity modes:

Absolute time range: In this mode, keychains are valid within a certain period and are invalid out of the period.
Periodic time range: In this mode, keychains are valid periodically. After one period ends, keychains continue to be valid within next period.
The mode in which key IDs for packet sending become valid must be identical with that configured for the keychain.

Precautions

Only one key ID is valid within a time period. In other words, the send time periods of different key-ids cannot overlap with each other.

Example

# Configure the send time with the timing mode as monthly periodic.
