User Guidelines This command is equivalent to rip default-route originate. Note that this is an origination of a default route with the given metric. Setting the value of the metric to 0 is the same as negating the command. An interface on which this command has been configured does not accept default route advertisement, in order to prevent a possible loop on the default route. NOTE: This command will be deprecated in a future version. Example The following example applies an offset of 5 to generate a default route to RIP on IP address 100.1.1.1. Console(config)# interface ip 100.1.1.1 Console(config-ip)# rip default-route offset 5 rip authentication The rip authentication interface configuration command enables authentication for Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Version 2 packets and specifies the authentication type.
