45.1.3.5 Specifying the RIP Version Number
The RIP-2 of our switches supports authentication, PIN management, routing summary, CIDR and VLSM. By
default, the switch receives RIP-1 and RIP-2, but the switch only sends RIP-1. Through configuration, the
switch can receive and send only the packet RIP-1, or only the packet RIP-2. To meet the previous demand,
run the following command in switch configuration mode:
Command Purpose
version {1 | 2}
The switch sends and receives only RIP-1 or only
RIP-2.
The previous tasks control the default actions of the RIP. You also can configure a certain interface to change
the default actions.
Run the following commands in VLAN configuration mode to control the interface whether to send RIP-1 or
RIP-2.
Command Purpose
ip rip send version 1
The configured interface only sends RIP-1.
ip rip send version 2
The configured interface only sends RIP-2.
ip rip send
versioncompatibility
Sends the RIP-2 update message in the form of
broadcast.
Run the following commands in interface configuration mode to control the interface whether to receive
packet RIP-1 or packet RIP-2
Command Purpose
ip rip receive version 1
The configured interface only receives RIP-1.
ip rip receive version 2
The configured interface only receives RIP-2.
ip rip receive version 1 2
The configured interface receives RIP-1 and
RIP-2.
45.1.3.6 Activating RIP Authentication
RIP-1 does not support authentication. To receive and send the RIP-2 packet, you can activate the RIP
authentication on the interface.
On the activated interface, two authentication modes are provided: plain text authentication and MD5
authentication. Each RIP-2 packet uses the plain authentication by default.
For the purpose of security, do not use the plain authentication in the RIP packet
because the unencrypted authentication PIN is sent to each RIP-
2 packet. You can
use the plain authentication without security concern.
Run the following commands in VLAN configuration mode to configure the RIP plain text authentication.
