– The interface uses a simple pass-
word in which an authentication key of up
to 8 characters is included in the packet.

tion. This method uses the MD5 algorithm
to create a crypto-checksum of a RIP
packet and an authentication key of up to
16 characters.

If you choose the
simple

md5
authentication method, you
must also specify a key-chain
identifier using the
