Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

In a load balancing group, member gateways send load information to the master gateway, and the master gateway uses the authentication key to authenticate member gateways. To ensure successful authentication, run this command to configure the same authentication key for the master and member gateways.

Precautions

For security purposes, configure the SHA2-256 algorithm to encrypt the authentication key before transmission.

Example

# Set the authentication key for load balancing group 1 to Test!123.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] loadgroup group1
[sysname-loadgroup-group1] authentication-key Test!123
