602.IP "serial = string" 4
603.IX Item "serial = string"
604The configuration serial number. This can be any string up to 16 bytes
605length. Only when the serial matches on both sides of a conenction will
606the connection succeed. This is \fInot\fR a security mechanism and eay to
607spoof, this mechanism exists to alert users that their config is outdated.

609It's recommended to specify this is a date string such as \f(CW\*(C`2013\-05\-05\*(C'\fR or
610\&\f(CW\*(C`20121205084417).\*(C'\fR
611.Sp
612The exact algorithm is as this: if a connection request is received form a
613node with an identical serial, then it succeeds normally.
614.Sp
615If the remote serial is lower than the local serial, it is ignored.
616.Sp
617If the remote serial is higher than the local serial, a warning message is
618logged.
