Configuring gated
Configuring the RIP Protocol
Chapter 352
Range: 1 – 16
• query authentication [none|[[simple|md5]
password
]]
specifies the authentication, if any, that is required for query packets
that do not originate from routers. If authentication consisting of
only a password is required, specify simple
password
or
password
.
If the required authentication consists of a key that was created with
the MD5 algorithm, specify md5. Default: none.
• interface is specified as one of the following (in the order of
precedence): an IP address (for example, 193.2.1.36), a domain or
interface name (for example, lan0 or lan1), a wildcard name (for
example, lan*), or all (which refers to all interfaces). You can
specify multiple interface statements with different clauses. If you
specify a clause more than once, the instance with the most specific
interface reference is used.
• noripin specifies that gated does not process any RIP information
received through the specified interface. Default: ripin.
• noripout specifies that gated does not send any RIP information
through the specified interface. Default: ripout.
• metricin specifies the incoming metric for all routes propagated to
this node through the specified interface.
Default: kernel interface metric plus 1 (the default RIP
hopcount)
• metricout specifies the outgoing metric for all routes propagated by
this node through the specified interface.
Default: 0
• version 1 specifies that RIP Version 1 packets (as defined in RFC
1058) are sent; RIP Version 2 packets (defined in RFC 1388) are sent
only in response to a Version 2 poll packet. version 2 specifies that
RIP Version 2 packets are sent to the RIP multicast address or to the
broadcast addresses. You can specify how the packets are sent with
the multicast or broadcast clauses. version 2 multicast implies
that you want to send Version 2 packets (containing subnet mask
information). version 2 broadcast implies that you want to send
Version 2 packets. If you do not specify a version, version 1 is
assumed.
