• Poision Reverse: This method propagates routes back to an
interface port from which they have been acquired, but set the
distance-vector metrics to infinity. (This provides faster
convergence.)
• Authentication Type – Specifies whether or not authentication is
required for exchanging protocol messages. (Default: No
Authentication)
• No Authentication: No authentication is required.
• Simple Password: Requires the interface to exchange routing
information with other routers based on an authorized password.
(Note that authentication only applies to RIPv2.)
• Authentication Key – Specifies the key to use for authenticating RIPv2
packets. For authentication to function properly, both the sending and
receiving interface must use the same password. (Range: 1-16
characters, case sensitive)
Web - Click Routing Protocol, RIP, Interface Settings. Select the RIP protocol
message types that will be received and sent, the method used to provide faster
convergence and prevent loopback (that is, prevent instability in the network
topology), and the authentication option and corresponding password. Then
click Apply.
