2To configure RIP for the Unit (Campus-REX2), do the following:

a To enable RIP Host Routes, type 1 then press ENTER . When enabled, Campus-REX2 accepts host routes in RIP updates.

b To enable RIP Poison Reverse, type 2 then press ENTER . When enabled, this gateway (REX2) indicates to its neighbor gateways that one of the gateways is no longer connected. It does this by setting the number of hops to the disconnected gateway to an infinite number of hops (16, for example).

cTo enable RIP2 authentication, type 2 then press ENTER . RIPv2 uses a plain-text password for authentication that you will set when you change the RIP2 authentication password.

dTo change the RIP2 authentication password, type 2 then press ENTER (RIP2 authentication must be enabled). Enter a text string of

up to 16 characters (including alphanumeric or symbols) at the prompt:

Maximum length is 16 characters.
