authentication-key
Syntax authentication-key [authentication-key | hash-key] [hash | hash2]
no authentication-key
Context config>service>vprn>rip
config>service>vprn>rip>group
config>service>vprn>rip>group>neighbor
Description This command sets the authentication password to be passed between RIP neighbors.
The authentication type and authentication key must match exactly for the RIP message to be
considered authentic and processed.
The no form of the command removes the authentication password from the configuration and
disables authentication.
Default no authentication-key — Authentication is disabled and the authentication password is empty.
Parameters authentication-key — The authentication key. The key can be any combination of ASCII characters
up to 16 characters in length (unencrypted). If spaces are used in the string, enclose the entire
string in quotation marks (“ ”).
hash-key — The hash key. The key can be any combination of ASCII characters up to 33 characters in
length (encrypted). If spaces are used in the string, enclose the entire string in quotation marks
(“ ”).
This is useful when a user must configure the parameter, but, for security purposes, the actual
unencrypted key value is not provided.
hash — Specifies the key is entered in an encrypted form. If the hash parameter is not used, the key
is assumed to be in a non-encrypted, clear text form. For security, all keys are stored in encrypted
form in the configuration file with the hash parameter specified.
hash2 — Specifies the key is entered in a more complex encrypted form. If the hash2 parameter is
not used, the less encrypted hash form is assumed.
