address.
• Subnet Mask: Mask of the destination address.
• Next Hop: If set to 0.0.0.0, it indicates that the originator of the route is the best next hop; otherwise
it indicates a next hop better than the originator of the route.
RIPv2 authentication message format
RIPv2 sets the AFI field of the first route entry to 0xFFFF to identify authentication information. See Figure

Figure 3 RIPv2 Authentication Message
• Authentication Type: A value of 2 represents plain text authentication, while a value of 3 represents
MD5.
• Authentication: Authentication data, including password information when plain text authentication
is adopted or including key ID, MD5 authentication data length and sequence number when MD5
authentication is adopted.
NOTE:
RFC 1723 only defines plain text authentication. For information about MD5 authentication, see RFC
