CLI - This example sets the receive version to accept both RIPv1 or
RIPv2 messages, the send mode to RIPv1 compatible (i.e., called
v2-broadcast in the CLI), sets the method of preventing instability in the
network topology to Split Horizon, enables authentication via a simple
password (i.e., called text mode in the CLI).
