Hello,
I face a problem when configuring RIP with MD5 authentication in bird. I find no examples in configuring bird this way, so maybe this could be added to the documentation. ... In case I use plain configuration (authentication plaintext) instead of MD5 then the boxes connect successfully and routes are exchanged. Do I use a wrong RIP configuration or is this a bug in bird ?
Hello Well, the current RIP implementation is not in a good shape, so this is likely a bug in it. I would suggest to try devel version of BIRD from our Git repository, branch rip-new. It fixes many bugs and adds many new features to the RIP. Note that it also changes some options, e.g. options like authentication, password, port are per-interface (like in OSPF), honor option is removed. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
