Defining The Routing Interface’s RIP Configuration Page

Selection Criteria

Slot/Port - Select the interface for which data is to be configured.

Configurable Data

Send Version - Select the version of RIP control packets the interface should send from the pulldown menu. The value is one of the following:

RIP-1- send RIP version 1 formatted packets via broadcast.

RIP-1c- RIP version 1 compatibility mode. Send RIP version 2 formatted packets via broadcast. RIP-2- send RIP version 2 packets using multicast.

None - no RIP control packets will be sent. The default is RIP-2.

Receive Version - Select what RIP control packets the interface will accept from the pulldown menu. The value is one of the following:

RIP-1- accept only RIP version 1 formatted packets. RIP-2- accept only RIP version 2 formatted packets. Both - accept packets in either format.

None - no RIP control packets will be accepted. The default is Both.

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 disabled.

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:

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.

Simple - If you select 'Simple' you will be prompted to enter an authentication key. This key will be included, in the clear, in the OSPF header of all packets sent on the network. All routers on the network must be configured with the same key.
