receive ( v1 | v1-2 | v2 ; default: v2 ) - specifies RIP protocol update versions the router will be able
to receive
authentication ( none | simple | md5 ; default: none ) - specifies authentication method to use for
RIP messages
• none - no authentication performed
• simple - plain text authentication
• md5 - Keyed Message Digest 5 authentication
authentication-key ( text ; default: "" ) - specifies authentication key for RIP messages
prefix-list-in ( name ; default: "" ) - name of the filtering prefix list for received routes
prefix-list-out ( name ; default: "" ) - name of the filtering prefix list for advertised routes
Notes
It is recommended not to use RIP version 1 wherever it is possible due to security issues
Example
To add an entry that specifies that when advertising routes through the ether1 interface, prefix list
plout should be applied:
[admin@MikroTik] routing rip> interface add interface=ether1 \
\... prefix-list-out=plout
[admin@MikroTik] routing rip> interface print
Flags: I - inactive
0
interface=ether1 receive=v2 send=v2 authentication=none
authentication-key="" prefix-list-in=plout prefix-list-out=none
[admin@MikroTik] routing rip>
Networks
Home menu level: /routing rip network
Description
To start the RIP protocol, you have to define the networks on which RIP will run.
Property Description
address ( IP address/mask ; default: 0.0.0.0/0 ) - specifies the network on which RIP will run. Only
directly connected networks of the router may be specified
netmask ( IP address ; default: 0.0.0.0 ) - specifies the network part of the address (if it is not
specified in the address argument)
Notes
For point-to-point links you should specify the remote endpoint IP address as the network IP
address. For this case the correct netmask will be /32.
