The Avaya Multiservice switch supports the creation of a single Key Chain with a single Key. Hence, Key and Key Chain are interchangeable terms. The Key has a setting for a start time and duration. Regardless of duration, the Key's start time must be set, even if the duration is set to infinity.
If the duration is less than 4294967295 seconds, the Key will expire. Ironically, this number is approximately 136 years. A more realistic number would be 18000 seconds (5 Hours). For this time interval, the RIP V2 interface would exchange routes with other RIP V2 routers in the same subnet. Once expired, the RIP V2 interface would no longer accept RIP packets from RIP V2 routers on that subnet.
If the Key's duration is 4294967295 (alternately -1), the key never expires. Again, if you use this value, you must still specify a Key Accept Time. Failure to do so will result in the Avaya switch not creating the Key.
