ip rip authentication
mode
This command specifies the type of authentication that can be used for
RIPv2 packets. Use the no form to restore the default value.
SYNTAX
ip rip authentication mode {md5 | text}
no ip rip authentication mode
md5 - Message Digest 5 (MD5) authentication
text - Indicates that a simple password will be used.
DEFAULT SETTING
Text authentication
COMMAND MODE
Interface Configuration (VLAN)
COMMAND USAGE
◆ The password to be used for authentication is specified in the ip rip
authentication string command.
◆ This command requires the interface to exchange routing information
with other routers based on an authorized password. (Note that this
command only applies to RIPv2.)
◆ For authentication to function properly, both the sending and receiving
interface must be configured with the same password or authentication
key.
◆ MD5 is a one-way hash algorithm is that takes the authentication key
and produces a 128 bit message digest or “fingerprint.” This makes it
computationally infeasible to produce two messages having the same
message digest, or to produce any message having a given prespecified
target message digest.
EXAMPLE
This example sets the authentication mode to plain text.
Console(config)#interface vlan 1
Console(config-if)#ip rip authentication mode text
Console(config-if)#
