RipAuthenticationParams Writable Attributes

Attribute Description
Authentication

Authentication method to use.

Spirent TestCenter supports MD5 Authentication for emulated RIPv2, and for RIPv1-compatible RIPv2 routers. A RIPv1-compatible is a RIPv2 router that broadcasts route updates.

Type: enum

Default: NONE

Possible Values:

Value Description
NONE

No authentication.
SIMPLE

RIP-2 packet is authenticated by the receiving router if the password matches the authentication key that is included in the packet. This method provides little security because the authentication key can be learned by watching the RIP packets.

MD5

RIP-2 packet contains a cryptographic checksum, but not the authentication key itself. The receiving router performs a calculation based on the MD5 algorithm and an authentication key ID. The packet is authenticated if the calculated checksum matches. This method provides a stronger assurance that routing data originated from a router with a valid authentication key.

HMAC_SHA_1

Digest generated with the algorithm HMAC-SHA-1
HMAC_SHA_256

Digest generated with the algorithm HMAC-SHA-256
HMAC_SHA_512

Digest generated with the algorithm HMAC-SHA-512
HmacShaKeyId

Authentication Key ID for HMAC SHA digest generation

Type: u16

Default: 1
Md5KeyId

Key ID for MD5 authentication.

MD5 verifies the integrity of the communication, authenticates the origin, and checks for timeliness. This is an integer ID for the specified MD5 password.

Type: u8

Default: 1
Password

Used for authentication of RIPv2 messages. This is used as a password string for simple authentication, or as a key string for MD5.

If the SUT is configured to authenticate messages, this password must match the SUT password in order for the SUT to accept RIP packets.

Type: string

Default: Spirent
