Configuring RIP
DETAILED STEPS
The following example shows how to add Ethernet 1/2 interface to a RIP instance:
switch# config t
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/2
switch(config-if)# ip router rip Enterprise
switch(config)# copy running-config startup-config
Configuring RIP Authentication
You can configure authentication for RIP packets on an interface. 
BEFORE YOU BEGIN 
Ensure that you have enabled the RIP feature (see the “Enabling the RIP Feature” section on page 12-5).
Ensure that you are in the correct VDC (or use the switchto vdc command).
Configure a key chain if necessary before enabling authentication. See the Cisco NX-OS Security 
Configuration Guide for details on implementing key chains.
