set ip ethernet [ A | B ] rip-receive-keyid keyid

Specifies the key that will be used to authenticate all incoming RIP 
packets if 

v2-MD5

 is selected for 

rip-send

. When your Cayman 2E-W 

receives a RIP packet, it uses the expected key to create an MD-5 
digest of the RIP message. It then compares this calculated digest to 
the MD-5 digest sent with the RIP packet. If the calculated digest 
does not match the received digest, the RIP message is discarded. If 
the two digests match, the packet is processed as a normal RIP-2 
packet. 

IP authentication keys can be 1-16 characters long, and can include 
spaces and special characters. You must enclose the authentication 
key string in double quotes (““).

Default IP Gateway Settings

set ip gateway option { on | off }

Specifies whether the Cayman 2E-W should send packets to a default 
gateway if it does not know how to reach the destination host.

set ip gateway interface { ip-address | ppp } 

Specifies how the Cayman 2E-W should route information to the 
default gateway. If you select 

ip-address

, you must enter the IP 

address of a host on a local or remote network. If you specify 

ppp

, 

the Cayman 2E-W uses the default gateway being used by the remote 
PPP peer.

set ip gateway default ip_address

Specifies the IP address of the default IP gateway. 

WAN-to-WAN Routing Settings

Use the following command to configure settings for routing 
between WAN  connections.

set ip interwan-routing { on | off }

Enables or disables routing between WAN connections.
