Creating Trusted RIP Neighbors
Trusted RIP neighbors enable you to enhance a Cajun switch’s security by enabling one
or more neighbors to relay RIP information.
CAUTION: Adding one or more trusted RIP neighbors ensures that your router
accepts only information from these neighbors. Consequently, all
other information is filtered. Do not create trusted RIP neighbor(s) if
you do not wish to filter RIP information from the network.
Receive Version Specify the version of RIP you want to use to receive packets.
Selections include:
• V1
• V2
• V1/V2
Split Horizon Specify that IP routes learned from an immediate
neighbor are not advertised back to the neighbor from
which the routes were learned.
• Split Horizon - Routes are not advertised.
• Split Horizon with Poison Reverse - Routes are
advertised with an infinite metric (16).
Default Route Specify the mode for the default route. Different states include:
• Disable - Disables the default route.
• Talk Only - Send RIP information to the network.
• Listen Only - Receive RIP information from the network.
• Talk/Listen - Both send and receive RIP information from
the network.
Auth Type Specify the type of authentication available for use on a given
RIP interface. Authentication types include:
• None - No authentication available.
• Simple - Uses a clear-text password for validation.
• MD5 - Uses a stronger encryption technique for
passwords.
Auth Key Enter the authorization key value.
