Use this command to enable or disable a RIP authentication key chain for use on an interface.

Syntax

ip rip authentication keychain name
no ip rip authentication keychain name

Parameters

name Specifies the key chain name to enable or disable for RIP authentication.

Defaults

None.

Mode

Interface configuration command mode.

Usage

Both a RIP authentication keychain must be enabled and the RIP authentication mode () must be configured before authentication will be active.

The “no” form of this command prevents RIP from using authentication.

System(rw-config)->interface vlan 1
System(rw-config-intf-vlan.0.1)->ip rip authentication keychain password
