To configure a RIP interface
1 Go to Router > RIP > Interface.
2 Select the edit icon beside an Interface to configure that interface.
3 Select a Send Version if you want to override the default send version for this
interface.
4 Select a Receive Version if you want to override the default receive version for this
interface.
5 Select the Split-Horizon check box to enable split horizon.
6 Select either Regular or Poisoned reverse to set the split horizon type.
7 Select the Authentication mode.
8 Select Password and enter a password (key) if this interface is using RIP version 2
and if you are configuring only one key for this interface and do not want to use a key
chain.
9 Select Key-chain and select the key chain to use if this interface is using RIP version 2
and you want to use key chains for authentication for this interface.
10 Select OK.
Distribute list
Use distribute lists to filter incoming or outgoing updates using an access list or a
prefix list. If you do not specify an interface, the filter will be applied to all interfaces in
the current virtual domain.
You must configure the access list or prefix list that you want the distribute list to use
before you configure the distribute list. For more information on configuring access
lists and prefix lists, see “Access list” on page 158 and “Prefix list” on page 160.
Authentication Select the authentication used for RIP version 2 packets sent and
received by this interface. If you select None, no authentication is used. If
you select Text, the authentication key is sent as plain text. If you select
MD5, the authentication key is used to generate an MD5 hash.
Both text mode and MD5 mode only guarantee the authenticity of the
update packet, not the confidentiality of the routing information in the
packet.
In text mode the key is sent in clear text over the network. Text mode is
usually used only to prevent network problems that can occur if an
unwanted or misconfigured router is mistakenly added to the network.
Password Enter a password (key) to use for authentication for RIP version 2
packets sent and received by this interface. Enter a password here when
you only want to configure one key. The key can be up to 35 characters
long.
Key-chain Enter the name of the key chain to use for authentication for RIP version
2 packets sent and received by this interface. Use key chains when you
want to configure multiple keys. For information on how to configure key
chains, see “Key chain list” on page 164.
Note: By default, all distribute lists for the root virtual domain are displayed. If you create
additional virtual domains, the distribute lists belonging to the current virtual domain only are
displayed. To view the settings associated with a different virtual domain, go to System > Virtual
Domain > Virtual Domains and select the virtual domain.
