Enabling source IP address check on incoming RIP updates

Perform this task to enable source IP address check on incoming RIP updates.

Upon receiving a message on an Ethernet interface, RIP compares the source IP address of the message with the IP address of the interface. If they are not in the same network segment, RIP discards the message.

Upon receiving a message on a serial interface, RIP checks whether the source address of the message is the IP address of the peer interface. If not, RIP discards the message.
