Interface view

simple: Simple text authentication mode.

password: Simple text authentication key. It is a character string of 1 to 16 
characters.

md5: MD5 cipher text authentication mode.

usual: Specifies the MD5 cipher text authentication packet to use the general 
packet format (RFC1723 standard format).

key-string: MD5 cipher text authentication key. If it is input in a plain text form, 
MD5 key is a character string not exceeding 16 characters. And it will be displayed 
in a cipher text form in a length of 24 characters when the display 
current-configuration command is executed. Inputting the MD5 key in a cipher 
text form with 24 characters long is also supported.

nonstandard: Specifies the MD5 cipher text authentication packet to use a 
nonstandard packet format described in RFC2082.

key-id: MD5 cipher text authentication identifier, ranging from 1 to 255.

Use the rip authentication-mode command to configure RIP-2 authentication 
mode and its parameters.

Use the undo rip authentication-mode command to cancel the RIP-2 
authentication.

RIP-1 does not support authentication. There are two RIP authentication modes: 
simple authentication and MD5 cipher text authentication for RIP-2. When MD5
