rip_recv:

Ignoring RIP <rip command> packet from <source address> [(VRF <vrf id>)] - authentication failure [(Key-ID <key id>)]

Error (local or remote device)

A received RIP packet was ignored because of an authentication error.

This operation message is output according to the following conditions:

  1. The messages from the first to the 16th event are output.

  2. After 17 times from the beginning of the event occurrence, this message is output once every 256 times the event occurs.

  3. If an event occurs 3 minutes or more after the last event occurred, this message is output depending on 1 and 2 above.

Note that the above number of messages includes the count of the following messages:

rip_recv: Ignoring RIP <rip command> packet from <source address> [(VRF <vrf id>)] - illegal authentication type

rip_recv: Ignoring RIP <rip command> packet from <source address> [(VRF <vrf id>)] - illegal authentication key identifier (Key-ID <key id>)

rip_recv: Ignoring RIP <rip command> packet from <source address> [(VRF <vrf id>)] - illegal authentication sequence number (Key-ID <key id>)

[Explanation of message variables]

<rip command>: Received message type

  • Invalid, Request, Response, TraceOn, TraceOff, Poll, PollEntry

<source address>: Source gateway

<vrf id> VRF ID

<key id>: Key identifier

[Action]

Check whether the authentication key for the local device RIP matches the authentication key for the remote device RIP.

If they do not match, specify the authentication keys so that they do match.

6

rip_recv:

Ignoring RIP <rip command> packet from <source address> [(VRF <vrf id>)] - TRACE packets not supported

Warning (remote device)

A received RIP packet was ignored because TRACE packets are not supported.

[Explanation of message variables]

<rip command>: Received message type

  • TraceOn, TraceOff

<source address>: Source gateway

<vrf id> VRF ID

[Action]

Check the specifications of the unicast routing program (RIP) for the source gateway.

7

rip_init:

Old copy of rtm is running

Error (local device)

Unicast routing program might already be running.

The unicast routing program automatically restarts.

[Explanation of message variables]

None.

[Action]

Take appropriate action by following the rtm aborted log.

8

RIP:

The total number of RIP targets is more than the maximum permitted

Error (local device)

The total number of RIP targets (adjacent) exceeds the maximum number permitted.

[Explanation of message variables]

None.

[Action]

Check, and if necessary, revise the RIP settings so that the maximum number of adjacent routers does not exceed the capacity limit.

9
