Simple authentication cannot provide complete security, because the authentication
keys sent along with packets are not unencrypted. Therefore, simple authentication
cannot be applied where high security is required.
Table 3-15 Set RIP-2 packet authentication mode
Operation Command Description

Set RIP-2 packet
authentication mode
rip authentication-mode
{ simple password | md5
{ rfc2453 key-string | rfc2082
key-string key-id } }
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)

Configure a RIP
neighbor
peer ip-address
Required
To make RIP works 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.
