CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE
Parameter | Description | |
Authentication Required | • | None: No authentication. |
| • | Password: A password authentication key is |
|
| included in the packet. If this does not |
|
| match what is expected, the packet will be |
|
| discarded. This method provides very little |
|
| security as it is possible to learn the |
|
| authentication key by watching RIP packets. |
| MD5: MD5 is an algorithm that is used to verify | |
| data integrity through the creation of a | |
| message digest from data input (which may be a | |
| message of any length) that is claimed to be as | |
| unique to that specific data as a fingerprint is to a | |
| specific individual. | |
Authentication Code | Password or MD5 Authentication key. |
