Multicast RIPv2 packets (multicast)—Multicast RIP version 2 packets. This is the default.
Do not send RIP updates (none)—Do not send RIP updates.
Broadcast RIPv1 packets (version-1)—Broadcast RIP version 1 packets.
- Authentication Type —Options include the following:
None–No authentication
Simple password authentication—Uses a text password that is included in the transmitted
packet. The receiving router uses an authentication key (password) to verify the packet.
MD5 authentication (md5)—Creates an encoded checksum that is included in the trans-
mitted packet. The receiving router uses an authentication key (password) to verify the
packet's MD5 checksum.
- Authentication Key —Authentication password. If the password does not match, the packet is
rejected. The password can be from 1 through 16 contiguous characters long and can include
any ASCII strings.
-
Hold Down —Seconds.
-
Message Size —Number of route entries to be included in every RIP update message. To ensure
interoperability with other vendors' equipment, use the standard of 25 route entries per
message. Range: 25 through 255 entries. Default: 25 entries.
-
Metric In —Metric to add to incoming routes when advertising into RIP routes that were learned
from other protocols. Use this statement to configure the router to prefer RIP routes learned
through a specific neighbor. Range: 1 through 16. Default: 1
-
Graceful Restart/Time/Disable —Enter the time, or check disable.
-
Check Reserved —Check to enable checking RIP reserved fields. Some of the reserved fields in
RIP version 1 packets must be zero, while in RIP version 2 packets most of these reserved
fields can contain nonzero values. By default, RIP discards version 1 packets that have
nonzero values in the reserved fields and version 2 packets that have nonzero values in the
fields that must be zero. This default behavior implements the RIP version 1 and version 2
specifications.
If you find that you are receiving RIP version 1 packets with nonzero values in the reserved
fields or RIP version 2 packets with nonzero values in the fields that must be zero, you can
disable checking to receive these packets in spite of the fact that they are being sent in
violation of the specifications in RFC 1058 and RFC 2453.
