RIP Security
By default, there is no authentication used for a RIP. However, you can configure a password for a RIP
interface. To configure a password, you must first select the authentication type (simple or MD5), then
configure a password.
Configuring Authentication Type
If simple or MD5 password authentication is used, both switches on either end of a link must share the
same password. Use the ip rip interface auth-type command to configure the authentication type. Enter
the IP address of the RIP interface, then enter an authentication type:
• none. No authentication will be used.
• simple. Simple password authentication will be used.
• md5. MD5 authentication will be used.
For example, to configure RIP interface 172.22.2.115 for simple authentication you would enter:
-> ip rip interface 172.22.2.115 auth-type simple
To configure RIP interface 172.22.2.115 for MD5 authentication you would enter:
-> ip rip interface 172.22.2.115 md5 auth-type md5
