Command Usage
• The password to be used for authentication is specified in the ip rip
authentication key command (page 37-20).
• This command requires the interface to exchange routing information
with other routers based on an authorized password. (Note that this
command only applies to RIPv2.)
• For authentication to function properly, both the sending and
receiving interface must be configured with the same password or
authentication key.
Example
