One of the routers (referred to as the authenticator) challenges the other router, (referred to as the peer), by generating a random number and sending it, along with the system name. The peer then applies a one-way hash algorithm to the random number, and returns this encrypted information along with the system name.
Page 110
Configuration with QuickSET Then the other router, referred to as the authenticator, checks the peer’s password against the remote router’s password and returns acknowledgment. When you select PAP, you will need to supply your Local Name and Local to Remote Password, and the Remote Name and Remote to Local Password.

Configuration with QuickSET Spoofing Settings Button Spoofing is a cost saving innovation. Spoofing uses a router on the LAN to simulate “keep-alive” packets sent across a WAN link to keep the connection open. Generating these packets locally lets the connection close down, saving the cost of keeping a circuit alive when there is no traffic.

This checkbox lets you disable the Proxy ARP function. Proxy ARP — Figure 32, below shows an example of Proxy ARP (Address Resolution Protocol). In this example, hosts A, and C need to communicate, and the only route is through host B as shown. The IP Addresses that define the link between hosts A and B use the same subnet number as the Ethernet LAN,(i.e., 192.168.54.0) through which hosts B and C communicate.

If the address(es) of a packet match the address(es) in the first filter in the list, the packet is permitted or denied as specified by that filter. If there is no match, the packet is checked against the second filter, and so on, until a match is found, or until the packet...

Entries in RIP-2 routing tables always have a Next Hop field. The Next Hop is the IP address of the next router along the path to the destination. The purpose of the Next Hop in the routing table is to prevent packets from being routed through extra hops in the system.
RIP-1 routers will never receive RIP-2 routes. This feature is useful when the correct use of an advertised route depends on knowing the precise subnet mask, which would be ignored by a RIP-1 router. Compatibility Switch A compatibility switch is necessary for two reasons. First, there are implementations of RIP-1 in the field that do not follow RFC1058, and second, the use of multicasting would prevent RIP-1...
Configuration with QuickSET * If the router is not configured to authenticate RIP-2 messages, then RIP-1 and unauthenticated RIP-2 messages will be accepted. Authenticated RIP-2 messages will be discarded. If the router is configured to authenticate RIP-2 messages, then RIP-1 messages and RIP-2 messages which pass authentication testing will be accepted.

Router Priority is used (with the Router ID) to select a Backup Designated Router Priority — Router, and a Designated Router. The range of Router Priority is from 0 to 255, where 255 is the highest. The highest router ID is the highest router IP Address. Class C addresses are the highest.
If a neighboring router has become inactive (Hello packets have not been seen for Poll Interval — [Router Dead] seconds, it may still be necessary to send Hello packets to the dead neighbor.
