Applying the Keychain

The keychain only takes effect after it is applied to an application.

Context

This section uses RIP as an example to describe how to apply the keychain to applications. Different applications may use different commands to apply the Keychain. Table 1 lists the commands used by different applications.

**Table 1** Protocols that support the keychain authentication
Protocol	Link
RIP	rip authentication-mode
MSDP	peer keychain(MSDP)
OSPF	authentication-mode(OSPF) ospf authentication-mode
OSPFv3	authentication-mode(OSPFv3) ospfv3 authentication-mode
IS-IS	area-authentication-mode isis authentication-mode
BGP\BGP4+	peer keychain (BGP)
MPLS LDP	authentication key-chain

Procedure

Access the system view.
```
system-view
```

Access the interface view.
