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 key chain 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:

    Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends using a single key in the key-chain.

  • Only RIPv2 supports MD5 authentication.
