Understanding RIP Authentication
RIPv2 provides authentication support so that RIP links can require authentication keys (passwords) before they become active. Authentication provides an additional layer of security on the network beyond the other security features. By default, this authentication is disabled.
Authentication keys can be specified in either plain-text or MD5 form. Authentication requires all routers within the RIP network or subnetwork to have the same authentication type and key (password) configured.
This type of authentication is not supported on RIPv1 networks.
