Authentication

RIPv2 provides authentication support so that RIP links can require authentication keys (passwords) before they become active. These authentication keys can be specified in either plain-text or MD5 form. Authentication provides an additional layer of security on the network beyond the other security features.

This type of authentication is not supported on RIPv1 networks.
