Switch 7700 Configuration Guide

RIP 71
Perform the following configurations in RIP view.
RIP-2 uses the route aggregation function by default.
Set RIP-2 Packet Authentication
RIP-1 does not support packet authentication. However, you can configure packet
authentication on RIP-2 interfaces.
RIP-2 supports two authentication modes:
■ Simple authentication — Does not ensure security. The unencrypted
authentication key is sent with the packet, so simple authentication should not
be applied when there are high security requirements
■ MD5 authentication — Uses two packet formats: One follows RFC1723 (RIP
Version 2 Carrying Additional Information) and another one follows the
RFC2082 (RIP-2 MD5 Authentication).
Perform the following configuration in VLAN interface view
MD5 authentication is applied by default. If the MD5 authentication type is not
specified, the nonstandard packet format type following RFC2082 is applied.
Configure Split Horizon
Split horizon means that the route received through an interface will not be sent
through this interface again. The split horizon algorithm can reduce the
generation of routing loops. But in some special cases, split horizon must be
disabled to obtain correct advertising at the cost of efficiency. Disabling split
horizon has no effect on the P2P connected links but is applicable on the Ethernet.
