Enabling Zero Field Check on Incoming RIPv1 Messages

Some fields in the RIPv1 message must be zero. These fields are called zero fields. You can enable
zero field check on received RIPv1 messages. If such a field contains a non-zero value, the RIPv1
message will not be processed. If you are sure that all messages are trusty, you can disable zero field
check to save CPU resources.

Enabling Source IP Address Check on Incoming RIP Updates

You can enable source IP address check on incoming RIP updates.

For a message received on an Ethernet interface, RIP compares the source IP address of the message
with the IP address of the interface. If they are not in the same network segment, RIP discards the
message.

For a message received on a serial interface, RIP checks whether the source address of the message
is the IP address of the peer interface. If not, RIP discards the message.

Follow these steps to enable source IP address check on incoming RIP updates:
