IV. Setting RIP-2 packet authentication mode
RIP-2 supports two authentication modes: simple authentication and MD5
authentication.
Simple authentication cannot provide complete security, because the authentication
keys sent along with packets that are not encrypted. Therefore, simple authentication
cannot be applied where high security is required.

Required
If you specify to use MD5
authentication, you must specify
one of the following MD5
authentication types:
rfc2453 (this type supports the
packet format defined in RFC 2453)
rfc2082 (this type supports the
packet format defined in RFC 2082)

Required
To make RIP to work on a link that does
not support broadcast/multicast packets,
you must manually configure the RIP
neighbor.
Normally, RIP uses broadcast or
multicast addresses to send packets.
