Connection Profiles and Default Profile
RIP-2 MD5 authentication may be configured in Connection Profiles, as well. If you are not using NAT, your public
Internet connection can benefit from sending authenticated RIP packets as well as receiving them. To configure
RIP-2 MD5 authentication for a Connection Profile, you can either change an existing Connection Profile, or
create a new one.
The Default Profile Leased and Switched menus are the same as the Connection Profile RIP option and
associated menus. For brevity, the following example shows only the Connection Profile RIP option and
associated menus.
In either case, navigate to the RIP Profile Parameters screen under the IP Profile Parameters menu of the
Display/Change (or Add) Connection Profile screen.
The connection profile RIP Profile Parameters screen appears.
