Creating Trusted RIP Neighbors

Trusted RIP neighbors enable you to enhance a Cajun switch’s security by enabling one or more neighbors to relay RIP information.

CAUTION: Adding one or more trusted RIP neighbors ensures that your router accepts only information from these neighbors. Consequently, all other information is filtered. Do not create trusted RIP neighbor(s) if you do not wish to filter RIP information from the network.
