Figure 71 RIPv2 Authentication Message
0
Command
Authentication Type: 2 represents plain text authentication, while 3 represents
■
MD5.
Authentication: Authentication data, including password information when
■
plain text authentication is adopted or including key ID, MD5 authentication
data length and sequence number when MD5 authentication is adopted.
n
RFC 1723 only defines plain text authentication. For information about MD5
■
authentication, refer to RFC2082 "RIPv2 MD5 Authentication".
With RIPv1, you can configure the authentication mode in interface view.
■
However, the configuration will not take effect because RIPv1 does not support
authentication.
The current implementation supports RIPv1 and RIPv2

Before configuring RIP basic functions, configure IP addresses for interfaces,
making all adjacent nodes reachable to each other at the network layer.
