Default Metric
Here, you specify the metric with which the default route will be propagated on this interface.
RIP uses the hop metric in which distances are specified as the "number of routers used"
(range of values: 1-15 (0 disables the default route)).
The following applies: The higher value, the longer packets require to their destination.
Authentication Type
Here, select the authentication method of the RIP packets. The following options are
available:
● none: no authentication (default)
● simple: authentication with password and confirmation
● MD5: authentication using the Keyed MD5 method (password, confirmation and key ID)
● These methods are simply used to determine the authenticity of a packet; they do not
encrypt data.
Key ID
Note
The "Key ID" text box is displayed only if the authentication method was set to MD5.
Enter the key ID here with which the password will be used as the key. Since the key ID is
transferred with the protocol, the same key must be stored under the same key ID on all
neighboring routers.
Password/Confirmation
Note
The "Password/Confirmation" text box is displayed only if the authentication method was set
to MD5 or simple.
If authentication uses a password, a key is required via MD5 that can be entered here.
