。 RIP Admin Mode - Select enable or disable from the pulldown menu. Before you enable RIP version 1 or version
1c on an interface, you must first enable network directed broadcast mode on the corresponding interface. The
default value is disable.
。 Authentication Type - You may select an authentication type other than none by clicking on the 'Configure
Authentication' button. You will then see a new screen, where you can select the authentication type from the
pulldown menu. The choices are:
ƒ None - This is the initial interface state. If you select this option from the pulldown menu on the second
screen you will be returned to the first screen and no authentication protocols will be run.
ƒ Simple - If you select 'Simple' you will be prompted to enter an authentication key. This key will be
included, in the clear, in the RIP header of all packets sent on the network. All routers on the network
must be configured with the same key.
ƒ Encrypt - If you select 'Encrypt' you will be prompted to enter both an authentication key and an
authentication ID. Encryption uses the MD5 Message-Digest algorithm. All routers on the network must
be configured with the same key and ID.
。 Authentication Key - Enter the RIP Authentication Key for the specified interface. If you do not choose to use
authentication you will not be prompted to enter a key. If you choose 'simple' or 'encrypt' the key may be up to 16
octets long. The key value will only be displayed if you are logged on with Read/Write privileges, otherwise it will be
displayed as asterisks.
Non-Configurable Data
。 IP Address - The IP Address of the router interface.
。 Link State - Indicates whether the RIP interface is up or down.
。 Bad Packets Received - The number of RIP response packets received by the RIP process which were
subsequently discarded for any reason.
。 Bad Routes Received - The number of routes, in valid RIP packets, which were ignored for any reason (e.g.
unknown address family, or invalid metric).
。 Updates Sent - The number of triggered RIP updates actually sent on this interface. This explicitly does NOT include
full updates sent containing new information.
Command Buttons
。 Configure Authentication - Display a new screen where you can select the authentication method for the virtual
link.
。 Submit - Send the updated configuration to the switch. Configuration changes take effect immediately. These
changes will not be retained across a power cycle unless a save is performed.
