DETAILED STEPS
Command
Step 1
config t
Example:
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
interface interface-type slot/port
Example:
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/2
switch(config-if)#
Step 3
ip rip authentication mode {text | md5}
Example:
switch(config-if)# ip rip authentication
mode md5
Step 4
ip rip authentication keychain key
Example:
switch(config-if)# ip rip authentication
keychain RIPKey
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config
Example:
switch(config-if)# copy running-config
startup-config
The following example shows how to create a key chain and configure MD5 authentication on a RIP
interface:
switch# config t
switch(config)# key chain RIPKey
switch(config)# key-string myrip
switch(config)# accept-lifetime 00:00:00 Jan 01 2000 infinite
switch(config)# send-lifetime 00:00:00 Jan 01 2000 infinite
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/2
switch(config-if)# ip rip authentication mode md5
switch(config-if)# ip rip authentication keychain RIPKey
switch(config-if)# copy running-config startup-config

Configuring a Passive Interface

You can configure a RIP interface to receive routes but not send route updates by setting the interface to
passive mode.
