RIP Authentication
RIP Version 1 does not support authentication. If you are sending and receiving RIP Version 2 packets,
you can enable RIP authentication on an interface. The key chain determines the set of keys that can be
used on the interface. If a key chain is not configured, no authentication is performed, not even the
default.
The switch supports two modes of authentication on interfaces for which RIP authentication is enabled:
plain text and MD5. The default is plain text.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure RIP authentication on an interface:
Command
Step 1
Router# configure terminal
Step 2
Router(config)# interface interface-id
Step 3
Router(config-if)# ip rip
authentication key-chain name-of-chain
Step 4
Router(config-if)# ip rip
authentication mode {text | md5}
Step 5
Router(config-if)# end
Step 6
Router# show running-config interface
[ interface-id ]
Step 7
Router# copy running-config
startup-config
To restore clear text authentication, use the no ip rip authentication mode interface configuration
command. To prevent authentication, use the no ip rip authentication key-chain interface
configuration command.
Summary Addresses and Split Horizon
Routers connected to broadcast-type IP networks and using distance-vector routing protocols normally
use the split-horizon mechanism to reduce the possibility of routing loops. Split horizon blocks
information about routes from being advertised by a router on any interface from which that information
originated. This feature usually optimizes communication among multiple routers, especially when links
are broken.
