Information
Define an authentication key chain to enable authentication for routing protocols. A key chain must have at least one key and can have up to 2,147,483,647 keys.
NOTE: Only DRP Agent, EIGRP, and RIPv2 use key chains.
Rationale:
Routing protocols such as DRP Agent, EIGRP, and RIPv2 use key chains for authentication.
Impact:
Organizations should plan and implement enterprise security policies that require rigorous authentication methods for routing protocols. Using 'key chains' for routing protocols enforces these policies.

Establish the key chain.
hostname(config)#key chain {<em>key-chain_name</em>}
