RIP AUTHENTICATION KEY-CHAIN
ip rip authentication key-chain
Overview Use this command to enable RIPv2 authentication on an interface and specify the
name of the key chain to be used.
Use the no variant of this command to disable this function.
Syntax
ip rip authentication key-chain <key-chain-name>
no ip rip authentication key-chain
Mode Interface Configuration for a VLAN interface.
Usage notes Use this command to perform authentication on the interface. Not configuring the
key chain results in no authentication at all.
The AlliedWare Plus™ implementation provides the choice of configuring
authentication for single key or multiple keys at different times. Use the ip rip
authentication string command for single key authentication. Use the ip rip
authentication key-chain command for multiple keys authentication. See the RIP
Feature Overview and Configuration Guide for illustrated RIP configuration
examples.
For multiple key authentication, use the following steps to configure a route to
enable RIPv2 authentication using multiple keys at different times:
1) Define a key chain with a key chain name, using the following commands:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# key chain <key-chain-name>
2) Define a key on this key chain, using the following command:
awplus(config-keychain)# key <keyid>
3) Define the password used by the key, using the following command:
awplus(config-keychain-key)# key-string <key-password>
4) Enable authentication on the desired interface and specify the key chain to
be used, using the following commands:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface <id>
awplus(config-if)# ip rip authentication key-chain
<key-chain-name>
Parameter Description
<key-chain-name> Specify the name of the key chain. This is an alpha-numeric
string, but it cannot include spaces.
