rip authentication-mode

Use rip authentication-mode to configure RIPv2 authentication.

Use undo rip authentication-mode to restore the default.

Syntax

rip authentication-mode { md5 { rfc2082 { cipher | plain } string key-id | rfc2453 { cipher | plain } string } | simple { cipher | plain } string }

undo rip authentication-mode

Default

RIPv2 authentication is not configured.

Views

Interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

md5: Specifies the MD5 authentication.

rfc2082: Uses the message format defined in RFC 2082.

cipher: Specifies a password in encrypted form.

plain: Specifies a password in plaintext form. For security purposes, the password specified in plaintext form will be stored in encrypted form.

string: Specifies the password. Its plaintext form is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 16 characters. Its encrypted form is a case-sensitive string of 33 to 53 characters.

key-id: Specifies the key ID in the range of 1 to 255.

rfc2453: Uses the message format defined in RFC 2453 (IETF standard).

simple: Specifies the simple authentication mode.

Usage guidelines

A newly configured key overwrites the old one, if any.

Although you can specify an authentication mode for RIPv1 in interface view, the configuration does not take effect because RIPv1 does not support authentication.

Examples

# Configure MD5 authentication on VLAN-interface 10 and specify a plaintext key rose in the format defined in RFC 2453.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 10
[Sysname-Vlan-interface10] rip version 2
[Sysname-Vlan-interface10] rip authentication-mode md5 rfc2453 plain rose
