Description
Specify the router and route authentication to mitigate the risk of being attacked by a machine or router that has been configured to share incorrect routing information with another router. Router and route authentication enables routers to share information only if they can verify that they are talking to a trusted source, based on a password (key). In this method, a hashed key is sent along with the route being sent to another router. The receiving router compares the sent key to its own configured key. If they are the same, the receiving router accepts the route.
The remaining statements are explained separately.
