Enabling Zero Field Check on Incoming RIPv1 Messages
Some fields in the RIPv1 message must be zero. These fields are called zero fields. You can enable
zero field check on received RIPv1 messages. If such a field contains a non-zero value, the RIPv1
message will not be processed. If you are sure that all messages are trusty, you can disable zero field
check to save CPU resources.
This task does not apply to RIPv2 packets that have no zero fields.
Follow these steps to enable zero field check on incoming RIPv1 messages:

Enabling Source IP Address Check on Incoming RIP Updates
You can enable source IP address check on incoming RIP updates.
For a message received, 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.
