2.4.4 Enabling Zero Field Check on Incoming RIPv1 Messages
Some fields in the RIPv1 message must be zero. These fields are called zero fields.
You can enable zero field check on received RIPv1 messages. If such a field contains a
non-zero value, the RIPv1 message will not be processed. If you are sure that all
messages are trusty, you can disable zero field check to save CPU resources.
