Features

Some of the major RIP features supported by the router include:

Route Tags

A route tag is a field in a RIP message that allows boundary routers in an autonomous
system (AS) to exchange information about external routes. Route tags provide a
method of separating internal RIP routes (routes within the RIP routing domain) from
external RIP routes, which may have been imported from an EGP (exterior gateway
protocol) or another IGP (interior gateway protocol).
Routers supporting protocols other than RIP should be configurable to allow the route
tags to be configured for routes imported from different sources. For example, routes
imported from BGP should be able to have their route tags set to the number of the
ASs from which the routes were learned.

Authentication

RIPv1 does not support authentication. If you are sending and receiving RIPv2 packets,
you can enable RIP authentication on an interface.
The router provides the simple authentication scheme for RIPv2. Because
authentication is a per message function and only one 2-octet field is available in the
RIP message header, authentication uses the space of an entire RIP message.
