Usage
Information
You can configure a maximum of six digest keys on an interface. Of the available six digest keys, the
switches select the MD5 key that is common. The remaining MD5 keys are unused.
To change to a different key on the interface, enable the new key while the old key is still enabled.
The system sends two packets: the first packet authenticated with the old key and the second packet
authenticated with the new key. This process ensures that the neighbors learn the new key and
communication is not disrupted by keeping the old key enabled.
After the reply is received and the new key is authenticated, delete the old key. Dell recommends keeping
only one key per interface.
NOTE: The MD5 secret is stored as plain text in the configuration file with service password
encryption. Write down or otherwise record the key. You cannot learn the key once it is configured.
Use caution when changing the key.
