This command can be followed by a RIP configuration command. This is a VLAN context command that can be
entered in a VLAN context or following the
vlan
enable/disable/configure
RIP
command on the VLAN
interface.
none
Do not use authentication.
text
Use simple password.
MD5
Use MD5 authentication.
Using
MD5
switch(vlan-10)# ip rip authentication-type md5
Using
none
switch(vlan-10)# ip rip authentication-type none
Syntax
[no] ip rip md5-auth-key-chain
keychain-name
Used to enable, disable or configure Routing Internet Protocol (RIP) on the VLAN interface. When
no
is specified,
the command disables RIP on the interface. The command can be followed by a RIP configuration command.
This is a VLAN context command that can be entered in a VLAN context or following the
vlan
vlan-id
command.
No authentication for RIP interfaces is the default configuration.
md5-auth-key-chain
Set the RIP MD5 authentication key chain (maximum 32 characters).
Using
MD5-auth-key-chain
switch(vlan-10)# ip rip md5-auth-key-chain
NOTE:
simple
and
none
authentication is supported on all RIP interfaces.
MD5
authentication is
supported for RIPv2 interfaces. With MD5 authentication, MD5-keyed digest is put into the packet
instead secret password. This mechanism better protects RIPv2 routing message from any
eavesdropping than simple or none.

Syntax
show ip rip
Once MD5 authentication is configured, the command will show the authentication type as MD5 for the configured
RIPv2 interface.
