Setting RIP-2 packet authentication mode
RIP-2 supports two authentication modes: simple authentication and message digest 5 (MD5)
authentication.
Simple authentication cannot provide complete security, because the authentication keys sent along
with packets that are not encrypted. Therefore, simple authentication cannot be applied where high
security is required.
Follow these steps to set RIP-2 packet authentication mode:
To do... Use the command... Remarks
Enter system view system-view —
Enter interface view

Set RIP-2 packet
authentication mode
rip authentication-mode
{ simple password | md5
{ rfc2082 key-string key-id |
rfc2453
key-string } }
Required
If you specify to use MD5 authentication, you must
specify one of the following MD5 authentication
types:
z
rfc2453 (this type supports the packet format
defined in RFC 2453)
z
rfc2082 (this type supports the packet format
defined in RFC 2082)
Configuring RIP to unicast RIP packets
Follow these steps to configure RIP to unicast RIP packets:
To do... Use the command... Remarks
Enter system view system-view —
Enter RIP view rip —

RIP packets
peer ip-address
Required
When RIP runs on the link that does not support
broadcast or multicast, you must configure RIP to
unicast RIP packets.
