aps authenticate
Configures an authentication string to be used to authenticate communications between APS pair interfaces by APS.
Syntax: aps authenticate string
no aps authenticate
string
A string of up to 8 alphanumeric characters.
Description: A string of up to 8 characters can be configured for the authentication of communications between the working and protection routers by APS. APS is used by both the simple and distributed APS configurations for communications between working and protected interfaces. Authentication must be enabled or changed prior to the APS protection interface becoming operational. Authentication is not required by APS.
Use the aps authenticate command to configure an authentication string for communications between the working and protection routers by APS.
Use the no aps authenticate command to disable authentication for this APS interface pair.
Factory Default: No authentication string configured.
Command Mode: Interface Configuration.
Example 1: In the following example the ATM interface 1/1/1 is:
- Administratively shutdown using the shutdown command
- Assigned to the bostonNYC APS group
- Configured to be the working APS interface
- Assigned an APS authentication string of auth1
- Enabled using the no shutdown command
The ATM interface 1/1/2 is:
- Administratively shutdown using the shutdown command
- Assigned to the bostonNYC APS group
- Configured to be the protection APS interface
- Assigned an APS authentication string of auth1
- Enabled using the no shutdown command
