Authentication Mode

Set the authentication mode and parameters for authenticating RIP packets on a RIPv2

interface:

• If the Authentication Mode is null, the interface does not authenticate RIP packets,

and the Key String and Key ID are not required.

• If Simple is specified for Authentication Mode, the interface authenticates RIP

packets using simple text key. You need to configure a Key String in simple text.

• If MD5 RFC2453 is specified for Authentication Mode, the interface adopts the MD5

authentication mode, and the authentication packet is in the format defined in RFC

2453. You need to configure a Key String in MD5 cipher text.

• If MD5 RFC2082 is specified for Authentication Mode, the interface adopts the MD5

authentication mode, and the authentication packet is in the format defined in RFC

2082. Then, you need to configure a Key String in MD5 cipher text and a Key ID.

IMPORTANT:

If Default or RIPv1 is specified as the RIP version, the authentication information you have

configured does not take effect.
