This command specifies the type of authentication that can be used for
RIPv2 packets. Use the no form to restore the default value.

md5 - Message Digest 5 (MD5) authentication
text - Indicates that a simple password will be used.

The password to be used for authentication is specified in the
◆
authentication string
This command requires the interface to exchange routing information
◆
with other routers based on an authorized password. (Note that this
command only applies to RIPv2.)
For authentication to function properly, both the sending and receiving
◆
interface must be configured with the same password or authentication
key.
MD5 is a one-way hash algorithm is that takes the authentication key
◆
and produces a 128 bit message digest or "fingerprint." This makes it
computationally infeasible to produce two messages having the same
message digest, or to produce any message having a given prespecified
target message digest.

This example sets the authentication mode to plain text.
