[indrajit1112]

I know how to create eigrp authentication to form neighborship.........but I need to clear the concept

FortWorth#configure terminal

FortWorth(config)#key chain MYCHAIN
FortWorth(config-keychain)#key 1
FortWort(config-keychain-key)#key-string securetraffic
FortWort(config-keychain-key)#end

------ I want to know the definition of

1. key−chain

2. key

3. key-string

----- what these commands actually define......what are the difference between them.......??

Hi, indrajith,

All these concept are for the authentication purpose. i will try to explain each points

1. key−chain

You are making a keychain with name of MYCHAIN. in side of this key chain iu can make many keys . 

Its like the bundle of your house key.  each key  bundle have many keys  for different rooms or stores

2. key- one key from budle of keys 

 Each key can use for authentication . and u can specify wich period each key need to use

eg

key-1 mandy to friday

key 2 satuday only

key 3 sunday only

3. key-string

It is the simple password for the authentication ( can be clear test or MD5)
