Description

route table. It does not participate in sending route
broadcasts.
Sets the RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
version to use on this interface.
A method for preventing loops that would cause
endless retransmission of data traffic.
• None: No authentication.
• Password: A password authentication key is
included in the packet. If this does not match
what is expected, the packet will be discarded.
This method provides very little security as it
is possible to learn the authentication key by
watching RIP packets.
• MD5: An algorithm that is used to verify data
integrity through the creation of a 128-bit
message digest from data input (which may
be a message of any length) that is claimed to
be as unique to that specific data as a
fingerprint is to a specific individual.
Password or MD5 Authentication key.
