Simple authentication cannot provide complete security, because the authentication
keys sent along with packets are not unencrypted. Therefore, simple authentication
cannot be applied where high security is required.

Required
If you specify to use
MD5 authentication, you
must specify one of the
following MD5
authentication types:
rfc2453 (this type
supports the packet
format defined in RFC
2453)
rfc2082 (this type
supports the packet
format defined in RFC
2082)
Description

Required
To make RIP works on a
link that does not support
broadcast/multicast
packets, you must
manually configure the
RIP neighbor.
Normally, RIP uses
broadcast or multicast
addresses to send
packets.
