III. Configuring RIP-1 packet zero field check

Operation Command Description

Enable zero field check of
RIP-1 packets
checkzero
Optional
By default, zero field
check is performed on
RIP-1 packets.
 Note:
Some fields in a RIP-1 packet must be 0, and they are known as zero fields. For RIP-1,
zero field check is performed on incoming packets, those RIP-1 packets with nonzero
value in a zero filed will not be processed further. As a RIP-2 packet has no zero fields,
this configuration is invalid for RIP-2.
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 are not unencrypted. Therefore, simple authentication
cannot be applied where high security is required.
