Enable RIP globally
By default, RIP is not enabled in FTOS. To enable RIP, use the following commands in sequence, starting
in the CONFIGURATION mode:
After designating networks with which the system is to exchange RIP information, ensure that all devices
on that network are configured to exchange RIP information.
The FTOS default is to send RIPv1, and to receive RIPv1 and RIPv2. To change the RIP version globally,
use the
version
command in the ROUTER RIP mode.
When RIP is enabled, you can view the global RIP configuration by using the
show running-config
command in the EXEC mode or the
show config
command (Figure ) in the ROUTER RIP mode.

You can use this command multiple times to exchange
RIP information with as many RIP networks as you
want.
