RFC 1723 only defines plain text authentication. For information about MD5 authentication, refer to
RFC 2453 "RIP Version 2".
With RIPv1, you can configure the authentication mode in interface view. However, the
configuration will not take effect because RIPv1 does not support authentication.

Supported RIP Features

The current implementation supports the following RIP features.
RIPv1 and RIPv2
RIP multi-instance.

Configuring RIP Basic Functions

Configuration Prerequisites

Before configuring RIP basic functions, complete the following tasks.
Configure the link layer protocol.
Configure an IP address on each interface, and make sure all adjacent routers are reachable to
each other.

Configuration Procedure

Enabling RIP and a RIP interface
Follow these steps to enable RIP:
To do...
Enter system view
Enable a RIP process and
enter RIP view
Enable RIP on the
interface attached to the
specified network
Use the command...
system-view
rip [ process-id ]
network network-address
