configure router rip interface authentication

This command configures RIP-2 authentication for an interface.

The type of authentication and the key value to be used can be specified, but this is only valid with RIP version 2 (mode 3). When authentication is configured, all subsequent RIP updates contain authentication information. In addition, all subsequent incoming RIP packets on that interface are accepted only if they carry a valid authentication header.

Parameter	Description
auth_type	The RIP-2 authentication algorithm.
simple	Use simple password authentication.
md5	Use MD5 authentication.
md5_cisco	Use Cisco MD5 compatibility.
line	The RIP-2 authentication password/key
	Enter an alphanumeric string of up to a maximum of 16 characters.
