Enabled by default 

 

The source IP address check feature should be disabled if the RIP neighbor is not directly connected. 

 

In a network requiring high security, you can configure this task to implement RIPv2 message validity 

check and authentication.  

RIPv2 supports two authentication modes: plain text and MD5. 

In plain text authentication, the authentication information is sent with the RIP message, which however 

cannot meet high security needs. 

Follow these steps to configure RIPv2 message authentication:

Enter interface view 

interface interface-type

Configure RIPv2 authentication 

rip authentication-mode 
{ md5 { rfc2082 key-string 
key-id | rfc2453 key-string } | 
simple password } 

Required 

 

This feature does not apply to RIPv1 because RIPv1 does not support authentication. Although you can 

specify an authentication mode for RIPv1 in interface view, the configuration does not take effect.  

 

Usually, RIP sends messages to broadcast or multicast addresses. On non broadcast or multicast links, 

you need to manually specify RIP neighbors. 

Follow these steps to specify a RIP neighbor:
