Configuring RIPv2 message authentication
Perform this task to enable authentication on RIPv2 messages. This feature does not apply to RIPv1 because RIPv1 does not support authentication. Although you can specify an authentication mode for RIPv1 in interface view, the configuration does not take effect.
RIPv2 supports two authentication modes: simple authentication and MD5 authentication.
To configure RIPv2 message authentication:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter interface view. | interface interface-type interface-number | N/A |
3. Configure RIPv2 authentication. | rip authentication-mode { md5 { rfc2082 { cipher | plain } string key-id | rfc2453 { cipher | plain } string } | simple { cipher | plain } string } | By default, RIPv2 authentication is not configured. |
