Enable Authentication on Both Switches

This task tests the authentication.

1. On switch 1, enter the configuration mode for the router.

   SEFOS# config terminal
   SEFOS(config)# router rip
   SEFOS(config-router)# network 10.0.0.1
   SEFOS(config-router)# redistribute all
   SEFOS(config-router)# exit

2. Enable md5 authentication.

   SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 1
   SEFOS(config-if)# ip rip authentication mode md5 key-chain 12345
   SEFOS(config-if)# end

3. On switch 2, enter the configuration mode for the router.

   SEFOS# configure terminal
   SEFOS(config)# router rip
   SEFOS(config-router)# network 10.0.0.2
   SEFOS(config-router)# exit

4. Enable md5 authentication.

   SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 1
   SEFOS(config-if)# ip rip authentication mode md5 key-chain 12345
   SEFOS(config-if)# end

5. Review the authentication type in switch 1.

   SEFOS# show ip protocols
