implementation of multicasting instead of broadcasting (which
reduces the load on hosts which do not support routing protocols.
RIP-2 with MD5 authentication is an extension of RIP-2 that increases
security by requiring an authentication key when routes are
advertised.
Depending on your network needs, you can configure your Cayman
2E-H to support RIP-1, RIP-2, or both.
set ip ethernet [ A | B ] rip-receive { off | v1 | v2 |
v1-compat | v2-MD5 }
Specifies whether the Cayman 2E-H should use Routing Information
Protocol (RIP) broadcasts to update its routing tables with
information received from other routers on your network.
set ip ethernet [ A | B ] rip-send-keyid keyid
Specifies the authentication key that will be included with all
outgoing RIP packets if
authentication key must match the key the remote router is
expecting, or the RIP update will be ignored. RIP authentication
keys can be 1-16 characters long, and can include spaces and special
characters. You must enclose the authentication key string in double
quotes ("").

packets if

receives a RIP packet, it uses the expected key to create an MD-5
digest of the RIP message. It then compares this calculated digest to
the MD-5 digest sent with the RIP packet. If the calculated digest
does not match the received digest, the RIP message is discarded. If
the two digests match, the packet is processed as a normal RIP-2
packet.
