Parameter
simple: Simple text authentication mode.
password: Simple text authentication key. It is a character string of 1 to 16 characters.
md5: MD5 cipher text authentication mode.
usual: Specifies the MD5 cipher text authentication packet to use the general packet
format (RFC1723 standard format).
key-string: MD5 cipher text authentication key. If it is input in a plain text form, MD5 key
is a character string not exceeding 16 characters. And it will be displayed in a cipher
text form in a length of 24 characters when the display current-configuration
command is executed. Inputting the MD5 key in a cipher text form with 24 characters
long is also supported.
nonstandard: Specifies the MD5 cipher text authentication packet to use a
nonstandard packet format described in RFC2082.
key-id: MD5 cipher text authentication identifier, ranging from 1 to 255.
Description
Use the rip authentication-mode command to configure RIP-2 authentication mode
and its parameters.
Use the undo rip authentication-mode command to cancel the RIP-2 authentication.
RIP-1 does not support authentication. There are two RIP authentication modes:
simple authentication and MD5 cipher text authentication for RIP-2. When MD5 cipher
text authentication mode is used, there are two types of packet formats. One of them is
that described in RFC 1723, which was brought forward earlier. The other format is the
one described specially in RFC 2082. The router supports both of the packet formats
and the user can select either of them on demands.
Related command: rip version.
Example
# Specify Interface Vlan-interface 10 to use the simple authentication with the key as
aaa.
[Quidway] interface Vlan-interface 10
[Quidway-Vlan-interface10] rip version 2
[Quidway-Vlan-interface10] rip authentication-mode simple aaa
# Set MD5 authentication at Vlan-interface 10 with the key string as aaa and the packet
type as usual.
[Quidway] interface Vlan-interface 10
