Parameter
simple
: Simple text authentication mode.
password
: Simple text authentication key.
md5
: MD5 cipher text authentication mode.
rfc2453
: Specify the MD5 cipher text authentication packet to use the general packet
format (RFC2453 standard format).
key-string
: MD5 authentication key. If it is input in a plain text form, MD5
key
is a
character string not exceeding 16 characters. And it will be displayed in a cipher text
form in a length of 24 characters when
display current-configuration
command is
executed. Inputting the MD5
key
in a cipher text form with 24 characters long is also
supported.
rfc2082
: Specify the MD5 cipher text authentication packet to use a nonstandard
packet format described in RFC2082.
key-id:
MD5 cipher text authentication identifier, ranging from 1 to 255.
Description
Using
rip authentication-mode
command, you can configure RIP-2 authentication
mode and its parameters. Using
undo rip authentication-mode
command, you can
cancel the RIP-2 authentication.
RIP-1 does not support authentication. There are two RIP authentication modes:
simple authentication and MD5 cipher text authentication for RIP-2 . When MD5 cipher
text authentication mode is used, there are two types of packet formats. One of them is
that described in RFC 2453. The other format is the one described specially in RFC
2082. The router supports both of the packet formats and the user can select either of
them on demands.

Example
# Specify Interface Vlan-interface 1 to use the
simple
authentication with the key as
aaa.
