Hey Richard,
So far as I know on newer versions of IOS it is required to make the keys active. When I was studying I just got into the habit of ALWAYS doing this, and I would encourage you to do the same. Just make it part of your routine, and you won't have to worry. Believe me, it can be a pain in the butt when your EIGRP peers won't come up and you have no idea why, only to find out your keys are not yet valid because of either you forgetting this command, or your system clock : ) Regards, Joe Astorino CCIE #24347 (R&S) Sr. Support Engineer - IPexpert, Inc.
