14.4.3.10 ip rip authentication key
Command: ip rip authentication key <name-of-chain>
no ip rip authentication key
Function:
Use this command to enable RIPV2 authentication on an interface and further
configures the adopted key chain. The “
no ip rip authentication key
” command cancels
the authentication.
Parameter: <name-of-chain>
is the name of the adopted key chain. There may be
spaces in the string. The input ends with an enter and the string should not be longer
than 256 bytes
Default:
Not configured
Command Mode:
Interface Mode
Usage Guide
: If the authentication is only configured without configuring the key chain or
password used by the interface, the authentication do no effect. If mode has not been
configured prior to configuring this command, the mode will be set to plaintext
authentication. The “no ip rip authentication key” command will cancel the authentication
which only cancels the authentication process when sending or receiving data packet
other than set non authentication mode.
Example:
Switch# config terminal
Switch(config)# interface vlan 1
Switch(Config-if-Vlan1)# ip rip authentication key my key
14.4.3.11 ip rip authentication mode
Command: ip rip authentication mode {text|md5}
no ip rip authentication mode {ext|md5}
Function:
Configure the authentication mode; the “
no ip rip authentication mode
{ext|md5}
” command restores to the default authentication mode namely text
authentication mode.
Parameter: text
means text authentication;
md5
means MD5 authentication.
Default:
Not configured authentication
Command Mode:
Interface Mode
Usage Guide:
RIP-I do not support authentication which the RIP-II supports two
authentication modes: text authentication (i.e. Simple authentication) and data packet
authentication (i.e. MD5 authentication). This command should be used associating the
ip rip authentication key or ip rip authentication string. Independently configuration will not
lead to authentication process.
