Configuring RIP Verifying the RIP Configuration
OmniSwitch 6600 Family Network Configuration Guide April 2006 page 16-15
Configuring Passwords
If you configure simple or MD5 authentication you must configure a text string that will be used as the
password for the RIP interface. If a password is used, all switches that are intended to communicate with
each other must share the same password.
After configuring the interface for simple authentication as described above, configure the password for
the interface using the ip rip interface auth-key command. Enter the IP address of the RIP interface, then
enter a 16-byte text string. For example to configure a password “nms” you would enter:
-> ip rip interface 172.22.2.115 auth-key nms
Verifying the RIP Configuration
A summary of the show commands used for verifying the RIP configuration is given here:
For more information about the displays that result from these commands, see the OmniSwitch CLI Refer-
ence Guide.
show ip rip Displays RIP status and general configuration parameters (e.g., forced
hold-down timer).
show ip rip routes Displays the RIP routing database. The routing database contains all of
the routes learned through RIP.
show ip rip interface Displays RIP interface status and configuration.
show ip rip peer Displays active RIP neighbors (peers).
show ip rip redist Displays general RIP redistribution parameters.
show ip rip redist-filter Displays currently-configured RIP redistribution filters.
