Enabling zero field check on incoming RIPv1 messages
Some fields in the RIPv1 message must be set to zero. These fields are called "zero fields." You can enable zero field check on incoming RIPv1 messages. If a zero field of a message contains a non-zero value, RIP does not process the message. If you are certain that all messages are trustworthy, disable zero field check to save CPU resources.
This feature does not apply to RIPv2 packets, because they have no zero fields.
To enable zero field check on incoming RIPv1 messages:
