Parameter Description
The authentication key chain.
string { string } Synopsis: A string 1 to 16 characters long
The authentication string.
4. Configure the interface settings by typing the following commands:
Parameter Description
{ ifname } Synopsis: A string 1 to 32 characters long
The name of the interface.
passive The specified interface is set to passive mode. In passive mode, all received packets are
processed normally and RIPd sends neither multicast nor unicast RIP packets except to RIP
neighbors specified with a neighbor element.
receive-version { receive-version } Synopsis: { 1, 2, 1,2, 2,1 }
The version of RIP packets that will be accepted on this interface. By default, version 1
and version 2 packets will be accepted.
send-version { send-version } Synopsis: { 1, 2, 1,2, 2,1 }
The version of RIP to send packets with. By default, version 2 packets will be sent.
split-horizon { split-horizon } Synopsis: { yes, no, poisoned-reverse }
Default: yes
A split horizon.
mode { mode } Synopsis: { md5-rfc, md5-old-ripd, text, none }
The authentication mode.
key-chain { key-chain } Synopsis: A string
The authentication key chain.
string { string } Synopsis: A string 1 to 16 characters long
The authentication string.
5. Type commit and press Enter to save the changes, or type revert and press Enter to abort.
Section13.8
Managing BGP
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) as defined by RFC 4271 [http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4271.txt] is a robust and
scalable routing protocol. BGP is designed to manage a routing table of up to 90000 routes. Therefore, it is used
in large networks or among groups of networks which have common administrative and routing policies. External
BGP (eBGP) is used to exchange routes between different Autonomous Systems (AS). Interior BGP (iBGP) is used to
exchange routes within autonomous system (AS).
BGP is used by the bgpd daemon to handle communications with other routers. The daemon also determines
which routers it prefers to forward traffic to for each known network route.
