Parameter Description

Interface Configuration
• Interface Address: Interface address of the specified sub-network.
• Authentication Type: Interface authentication type, which can be noAuthentication (none authentication), simplePassword (plain text authentication), or md5 (MD5 authentication).
• Key: Authentication password when the authentication type is simplePassword or md5.
• Version of Sent Packets: RIP sends the following versions of packets: doNotSend: forbids the interface to send RIP packets; ripVersion1: default value. The interface RIP version is RIP-1 and only RIP-1 broadcast packets are sent; rip1Compatible: the interface runs in RIP-2 broadcast mode and only RIP-1 and RIP-2 broadcast packets are sent; ripVersion2: specifies the interface to run in RIP-2 multicast mode and only RIP-2 multicast packets are sent.
• Version of Received Packets: Version of received RIP packets, which can be: rip1: default value. The interface RIP version is RIP-1 and only RIP-1 and RIP-2 broadcast packets are received. RIP-2 multicast packets are not received; rip2: specifies interface to run in RIP-2 multicast mode and only RIP-2 multicast packets are received. RIP-1 and RIP-2 broadcast packets are not received; rip1OrRip2: the interface runs in RIP-2 broadcast mode and only RIP-1 and RIP-2 broadcast packets are received. RIP-2 multicast packets are not received; doNotRecieve: no RIP packet is received.
• Default Metric: Default metric is used in route import. If no metric is specified in route import, the value of default-metric is used by default.

Interface Statistics
• Interface Address: Interface address of the specified sub-network.
• Received Error Packets: Received bad response packets on this interface.
• Discarded Routes: Discarded routes in received valid RIP packets.
• Triggered RIP Updates: Triggered RIP update packets sent out this interface, excluding the update packets sent at intervals.

Peer Information
• Peer Address: Interface address of the peer router (peer).
• Domain: Number of RIP packets received from the peer in the routing domain.
• Last Update: The system operation time when the last update packet from peer router is received.
• RIP Version: Version of the last RIP packet received.
• Received Invalid Response Packets: Received invalid response packets from the peer router.
• Discarded Routes: Number of routes discarded for wrong route information format in the received valid packets from peer router.
