DES-7200 Configuration Guide Chapter 2 RIP
Configuration
2-5
RIP routing process mode:
Command Function
DES-7200(config-router)# no auto-summary
Disable automatic route
aggregation.
DES-7200(config-router)# auto-summary
Enable automatic route
aggregation.
After the automatic route aggregation is disabled, you can configure the route
aggregation of IP addresses or subnets on an interface by executing the following
command in the interface mode:
Command Function
DES-7200(config-if)# ip summary-address
rip ip-address ip-network-mask
Enable route aggregation on the
interface.
DES-7200(config-if)# no ip
summary-address rip ip-address
ip-network-mask
Disable route aggregation on the
interface.
2.2.6 Configuring RIP Authentication
RIPv1 does not support authentication. If the router is configured with the RIPv2,
you can configure authentication on the appropriate interface.
Two RIP authentication modes are supported: plain-text authentication and MD5
authentication. The default is plain-text authentication.
In plain-text authentication mode, you can run the ip rip authentication
text-password command to configure the plain-text authentication password or
associate the key chain to obtain the plain-text authentication password. The
latter takes precedence over the former.
In MD5 authenticaiton mode, you should associate the key chain for MD5
authentication.
For the plain-text authentication, no authentication action occurs if the plain-text
authentication password string or the key chain association is not configured, or
the key chain is not configured although it has been associated. Similarly, for the
MD5 authentication, no authentication action occurs if the key chain association is
not configured, or the key chain is not configured although it has been associated.
To configure RIP authentication, execute the following commands in the interface
configuration mode:
