RFC 1723 only defines plain text authentication. For information about MD5 authentication, refer
to RFC 2453 “RIP Version 2”.
z
With RIPv1, you can configure the authentication mode in interface view. However, the
configuration will not take effect because RIPv1 does not support authentication.
Supported RIP Features
The current implementation supports the following RIP features.
z
RIPv1 and RIPv2
z
RIP multi-instance.
