72 CHAPTER 5: CONFIGURING THE ROUTER
3Com recommends that you only use RIPv1 if there is an existing
RIP-enabled device on your network that does not support RIPv2. In all
other cases, you should use RIPv2.
5 Use the Poison Reverse drop-down list to enable or disable Poison Reverse
on the router. Enabling Poison Reverse on your Router allows it to
indicate to other RIP-enabled devices that they have both routes that
point to each other, preventing data loops.
6 Use the Authentication Required field to choose one of three modes of
authentication:
■ None — Switches off authentication on the specified interface.
■ Password — An unencrypted text password that needs to be set on all
RIP-enabled devices connected to this router. RIP information is not
shared between devices whose passwords do not match.
7 In the Authentication Code field, enter the password that is required if
the Password option has been selected.
8 Click Apply.
