– Both — accept packets in either format.
•
None — no RIP control packets is accepted.
•
RIP Admin Mode — Select Enable or Disable from the drop-down menu. Before you enable RIP
version 1 or version 1c on an interface, you must first enable network directed broadcast mode on the
corresponding interface. The default value is Disable.
•
Authentication Type — You may select an authentication type other than None by clicking the
Modify button. You then see a new screen, where you can select the authentication type from the
drop-down menu. Possible values are:
–
None — This is the initial interface state. If you select this option from the drop-down menu on
the second screen and click
Apply Changes , you are returned to the first screen without any
authentication protocols being run.
–
Simple — If you select Simple you are prompted to enter an authentication key. This key is
included, in the clear, in the RIP header of all packets sent on the network. All routers on the
network must be configured with the same key.
–
Encrypt — If you select Encrypt you are prompted to enter both an authentication key and an
authentication ID. Encryption uses the MD5 Message-Digest algorithm. All routers on the
network must be configured with the same key and ID.
•
IP Address — Displays the IP Address of the router interface.
•
Link State — Specifies whether the RIP interface is up or down.
•

This explicitly does NOT include full updates sent containing new information.
•
Bad Routes Received — Displays the number of routes, in valid RIP packets, which were ignored for
any reason, for example, the number of triggered RIP updates actually sent on this interface. This
explicitly does NOT include full updates sent containing new information.
•
Updates Sent — Displays the number of Route updates sent.
