Important Considerations
■
If the sending interface has an IP RIP-2 password, the receiving
interface must have the same IP RIP-2 password. If the receiving
interface has a different password or a null password, its routing table
is not updated.
■
If you are using RIP-1, do not use the password option.
■
You cannot use the ASCII string
none
as the password. This string is
reserved to indicate the default password, which is a null value.
