You can assign an authentication password to an IP network interface for
maximum security. Doing so can prevent those who cannot directly access
the network from sending false routing information to the routers. RIP v1.0
messages will be ignored when authentication is in use. However,
authentication does not prevent RIP v1.0 routers from viewing RIP v2.0
messages. To prevent RIP v1.0 routers from viewing RIP v2.0 messages, you
must use multicasting.
Multicasting reduces load on hosts not using RIP v2.0 messages. Multicasting
also allows RIP v2.0 routers to share information that RIP v1.0 routers
cannot access. Available bandwidth becomes the tiebreaker in calculating
routes using default parameters for both IISP and PNNI routing.

These tests enable PSAX products to provide tones and signaling testing on
voice equipment in the customer’s premises, such as PBXs. Designed for use
between central office products, such as the PSAX 2300 and the PSAX 1250,
