Fortress Bridge: Command-Line Interface

92

View the encryption algorithm (and the re-keying interval) in
effect on the Bridge with

show

crypto

:

[GW]>

show crypto

CryptoEngine:AES256
ReKeyInterval:4

The

show

crypto

command is valid only in GW (gateway)

mode (refer to Section 6.1.1 for more detail).

NOTE:

You can

combine on a sin-

gle command line the

set crypto

arguments

that configure the en-
cryption algorithm and
the re-key interval.

The encryption algorithm that the Fortress Bridge and its
Clients will use is set with

set

crypto

, as follows:

[GW]>

set crypto [-e aes128|aes192|aes256]

The default encryption algorithm is AES256.

The

set

crypto

command is valid only in GW (gateway) mode

(refer to Section 6.1.1 for more detail).

6.4.5.2

Re-Keying Interval in the CLI

The re-keying interval is the length of time between new keys
issued by the Fortress Bridge. View the re-keying interval (and
the encryption algorithm) in effect on the Bridge with

show

crypto

:

[GW]>

show crypto

CryptoEngine:AES256
ReKeyInterval:4

The

show

crypto

command is valid only in GW (gateway)

mode (refer to Section 6.1.1 for more detail).

The re-keying interval in effect between the Fortress Bridge
and its Clients is set, in values between 1 and 24 hours, with

set

crypto

command, as follows:

[GW]>

set crypto [-t ]

The default re-keying interval is 4 hours.

The

set

crypto

command is valid only in GW (gateway) mode

(refer to Section 6.1.1 for more detail).

6.4.5.3

Data Compression in the CLI
View the compression setting in effect on the Bridge with the

show

command.

[GW]>

show compression

on

Configure data compression on the Bridge with the

set

command:

[GW]>

set compression {on|off}

Compression is turned on by default.

Be advised that Bridges in a point-to-point/multipoint
configuration must be configured to use the same compression
setting, or they will be unable to communicate with one
another.

The

show

and

set

compression

commands are valid only in

GW (gateway) mode (refer to Section 6.1.1 for more detail).
