• Both - accept packets in either format.
• None - no RIP control packets will be accepted.
The default is Both
• RIP Admin Mode Select enable or disable from the pulldown menu. Before you enable RIP version
1 or version 1c on an interface, you must first enable network directed broadcast
mode on the corresponding interface. The default value is disable.
• Authentication Type You may select an authentication type other than none by clicking on the
'Configure Authentication' button. You will then see a new screen, where you can
select the authentication type from the pulldown menu. The choices are:
None - This is the initial interface state. If you select this option from the pulldown
menu on the second screen you will be returned to the first screen and no
authentication protocols will be run.
Simple - If you select 'Simple' you will be prompted to enter an authentication
key. This key will be included, in the clear, in the RIP header of all packets sent
on the network. All routers on the network must be configured with the same key.
Encrypt - If you select 'Encrypt' you will be prompted to enter both an
authentication key and an authentication ID. Encryption uses the MD5
Message-Digest algorithm. All routers on the network must be configured with
the same key and ID
• Authentication Key Enter the RIP Authentication Key for the specified interface. If you do not choose
to use authentication you will not be prompted to enter a key. If you choose
'simple' or 'encrypt' the key may be up to 16 octets long. The key value will only
be displayed if you are logged on with Read/Write privileges, otherwise it will be
displayed as asterisks.
