Use the following steps to configure a route to enable RIPv2 authentication using
a single key or password:
1) Define the authentication string or password used by the key for the desired
interface, using the following commands:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface <id>
2) Specify the mode of authentication for the given interface (text or MD5),
using the following commands:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config-if)# ip rip authentication string
<auth-string>
awplus(config)# interface <id>
awplus(config-if)# ip rip authentication mode {md5|text}
Example See the example below to specify mykey as the authentication string with MD5
authentication for the VLAN interface vlan2:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface vlan2
awplus(config-if)# ip rip authentication string mykey
awplus(config-if)# ip rip authentication mode md5
