Configuring gated
Configuring the RIP Protocol
IP address (for example, 193.2.1.36), a domain or interface name (for
example, lan0 or lan1), a wildcard name (for example, lan*), or all
(which refers to all interfaces). Multiple interface statements may be
specified with different clauses. If a clause is specified more than once,
the instance with the most specific interface reference is used.
noripin specifies that gated does not process any RIP information
received through the specified interface. ripin is the default.
noripout specifies that gated does not send any RIP information
through the specified interface. ripout is the default.
metricin specifies the incoming metric for all routes propagated to this
node through the specified interface.
Default: kernel interface metric plus 1 (the default RIP hop count)
metricout specifies the outgoing metric for all routes propagated by this
node through the specified interface.
Default: 0
version 1 specifies that RIP version 1 (as defined in RFC 1058) packets
are sent; RIP version 2 packets (defined in RFC 1388) are sent only in
response to a version 2 poll packet. version 2 specifies that RIP version
2 packets are sent to the RIP multicast address or to the broadcast
addresses. You can specify how the packets are sent with the multicast
or broadcast clauses. version 2 multicast means you want to send
version 2 packets (containing subnet mask information). version 2
broadcast means you want to send version 1-compatible packets. If you
do not specify a version, version 1 is assumed.
[secondary] authentication [none|[simple|md5] password ]
specifies the authentication type to use for RIP version 2 packets (it is
ignored for version 1 packets). secondary indicates that the secondary
authentication is being defined; otherwise, the primary authentication is
being defined. If authenticationconsisting of only a password is required,
specify simple password or just password (where password is a quoted
string of 0 - 16 characters). If the required authentication consists of a
key that was created with the MD5 algorithm, specify md5. The default is
none. Note that if no authentication clause is specified, the default is
primary authentication of none and no secondary authentication.
trustedgateways specifies a list of routers that provide valid RIP
routing information; routing packets from other routers are ignored.
Default: all routers on the attached network(s).
