IP Gateway
-
The IP implementation has been enhanced to accept IP interfaces with a /31
netmask. This results in a slightly non-standard subnet that has no network
address or broadcast address. This has become a popular extension to IP, because
it reduces wastage of IP addresses on point-to-point links.

CR00013444
IP Gateway
-
RIPv2 can now use authentication passwords that contain almost any printable
character, including characters such as $, % and &. The ? character is interpreted
as asking for parameter help, so this is not usable anywhere inside a password.
Also, a password cannot contain double quotes (") as the first character of the
string.
The RIP password length is now strictly enforced at 16 characters. The command
handler no longer accepts a password with more characters than this.
