Hi All,

I have a problem with something that should be so easy it's not funny :(

IP RIP authentication is only available in version 2 of the protocol and
can use plain text or MD5 type passwords.

The only things required according to the doc's is to create a key chain
to use and then configure the interface to support authentication as
follows:

!
key chain KEYS
 key 1
  key-string cisco
!
interface Ethernet2/0
 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
 ip rip authentication mode md5
 ip rip authentication key-chain KEYS
!
router rip
 version 2
 network 10.0.0.0
!

The config is exactly the same on both routers and yet I receive
authentication errors as follows:

1d09h: RIP: received packet with MD5 authentication
1d09h: RIP: ignored v2 packet from 10.0.0.1 (invalid authentication)

I've checked and double-checked and the key-strings are exactly the same
and both are attempting to use MD5 authentication.

What am I missing?

Darren
