broadcast.
RIP-2
- send RIP version 2 packets using multicast.
None
- no RIP control packets will be sent.
The default is RIP-2.
Receive Version
- Select what RIP control packets the interface will accept from the
pulldown menu. The value is one of the following:
RIP-1
- accept only RIP version 1 formatted packets.
RIP-2
- accept only RIP version 2 formatted packets.
Both
- accept packets in either format.
None
- no RIP control packets will be accepted.
The default is Both.
RIP Admin Mode
- Select enable or disable from the pulldown menu. Before you enable
RIP version 1 or version 1c on an interface, you must first enable network directed
broadcast mode on the corresponding interface. The default value is disabled.
Authentication Type
- You may select an authentication type other than none by clicking
on the 'Configure Authentication' button. You will then see a new screen, where you can
select the authentication type from the pulldown menu. The choices are:
None
- This is the initial interface state. If you select this option from the pulldown
menu on the second screen you will be returned to the first screen and no
authentication protocols will be run.
Simple
- If you select 'Simple' you will be prompted to enter an authentication key.
This key will be included, in the clear, in the OSPF header of all packets sent on the
network. All routers on the network must be configured with the same key.
Encrypt
- If you select 'Encrypt' you will be prompted to enter both an authentication
key and an authentication ID. Encryption uses the MD5 Message-Digest algorithm. All
routers on the network must be configured with the same key and ID.
Authentication Key
- Enter the OSPF Authentication Key for the specified interface. If
you do not choose to use authentication you will not be prompted to enter a key. If you
choose 'simple' or 'encrypt' the key may be up to 16 octets long. The key value will only be
displayed if you are logged on with Read/Write privileges, otherwise it will be displayed as
asterisks.

- The number of triggered RIP updates actually sent on this interface. This
explicitly does NOT include full updates sent containing new information.
