3.3.3.4 Set 'ip rip authentication key-chain'

Information

Enable authentication for Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Version 2 packets and to specify the set of keys that can be used on an interface.

Rationale:

This is part of the RIPv2 authentication setup

Impact:

Organizations should plan and implement enterprise security policies that require rigorous authentication methods for routing protocols. Configuring the interface with 'ip rip authentication key-chain' by name enforces these policies by restricting the exchanges between network devices.

Solution

Configure the Interface with the RIPv2 key chain.

hostname(config)#interface {<em>interface_name</em>}
hostname(config-if)#ip rip authentication key-chain {<em>rip_key-chain_name</em>}

Default Value:

Not set
