RIP v2 (v1 | RIP version 2 (compatible with version 1) is an extension of RIP |
compat) | v1’s capabilities, but it is still compatible with RIP version 1. RIP |
| version 2 increases the amount of packet information to provide the |
| a simple authentication mechanism to secure table updates. |
|
|
RIP v2 | RIP version 2 enables the use of a simple authentication |
| mechanism to secure table updates. More importantly, RIP version |
| 2 supports subnet masks, a critical feature that is not available in |
| RIP version 1. This selection is not compatible with RIP version 1 |
| support. |

2.Select a routing direction from the RIP Direction
3.If RIP v2 or RIP v2 (v1 compat) is the selected RIP type, the RIP v2 Authentication area of the screen becomes active. Select the type of authentication to use from the Authentication Type
None | This option disables the RIP authentication. |

Simple | This option enable RIP version 2’s simple authentication |
| mechanism. |
| This setting activates the Password (Simple Authentication) field. |
|
|
MD5 | This option enables the MD5 algorithm for data verification. MD5 |
| takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces a |
| fingerprint. The MD5 algorithm is intended for digital signature |
| applications, in which a large file must be compressed in a secure |
| manner before being encrypted with a private (secret) key under a |

4.If the Simple authentication method is selected, specify a password of up to 15 alphanumeric characters in the Password (Simple Authentication) field.
5.If the MD5 authentication method is selected, fill in the Key #1 and Key #2 fields. Type in any numeric value between 0 and 256 into the MD5 ID field. Type in any string consisting of 16 alphanumeric characters into the MD5 Auth Key field.
6.Click the OK button to return to the Routing screen.
Security—How to Configure 802.1x EAP Authentication
The IEEE 802.1x is an authentication standard that ties EAP to both wired and wireless LAN applications. EAP provides effective authentication with or without IEEE 802.1x Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption, or with no encryption at all. EAP supports multiple authentication measures. It requires that the site have a authentication (Remote
1.Go to the Network Configuration
2.Select the 802.1x EAP radio button to enable the 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).
