Hello,

If each router is configured to use key chain to authenticate each
other, must both key-id and key-string be same?
For example, R1 --------------- R2.
On R1: (key1=abc, key2=def, key3=xyz)
On R2: (key1=xyz, key2=abc, key3=def)
They have same key-strings, but different key-ids, Can this
configuration be used?

Thanks.

No, It cannot be used.

In order for you to authenticate a peer, both key-string and key-id
have to be the same in both peers.

I.E.-
R1 ---------- R2
On R1: (key1=abc, key2=def, key3=xyz)
On R2: (key1=abc, key2=def, key3=xyz)

See you!!!
