Plain Text Authentication
Plain text authentication may be enabled for each active or passive interface running RIP in order to add security to RIP
communication. By default it is disabled on each interface.
The following plain text authentication tasks, along with their associated commands are grouped for convenience. This is
not intended to be a step-by-step procedure.
Enabling Plain Text Authentication
Enter the following command to enable plain text authentication for a given interface:
configure interface {cable-mac <mac> | gigabitethernet <slot>/<port> | tengigabitethernet
<slot>/<port>} ip rip authentication mode text
Where:
cable-mac <mac>
is the MAC identifier
gigabitethernet <slot>/<port> |
tengigabitethernet <slot>/<port>
is the RCM slot number/port number of the specified
interface
The system will respond:
Authentication mode is plain text
