Both (default), the router will broadcast its routing table on the
LAN, and incorporate RIP broadcasts by other routers into its
routing table. If set to In Only, the router will not broadcast its
routing table on the LAN, if set to Out Only, the router will
broadcast its routing table but ignore any RIP broadcast packets
that it receives. If set to None, the router will not participate in
any RIP exchange with other routers.
Usually, you should leave this parameter at its default of Both
and let RIP propagate the routing information automatically.

RIP Version—Determines what versions of the RIP Routing
Information Protocol the router accepts. Choices are:
◊
RIP-1 The router will accept and send RIP version 1
messages only.
◊
RIP-2B The router will accept RIP-1 and RIP-2 messages
(both broadcast and multicast), and sends RIP-2 messages in
broadcast format.
◊
RIP-2M The router will accept RIP-1 and RIP-2 messages
(both broadcast and multicast), and sends RIP-2 messages in
multicast format.
Unless there are routers in your environment that do not
understand RIP-2 packets, you should probably set this field to
RIP-2B.
