MD5 Authentication Mode in RIPv2 Testing

rip

CDRouter 6.2 and later support the MD5 Authentication Mode for RIPv2. The testvar ripSimplePassword has been deprecated. While it is still supported for legacy configurations, it is replaced by the new testvar ripPassword, which is used in conjunction with another new testvar, ripAuthMode. There are three configurations possible between these two testvars:

No Authentication 

testvar ripAuthMode none

Plaintext Authentication 

testvar ripAuthMode simple
testvar ripPassword secret-password

MD5 Authentication 

testvar ripAuthMode md5
testvar ripPassword secret-password
