17 • RIP configuration
RIP 2 is more useful in a variety of environments and allows the use of variable subnet masks on your network.
It is also necessary for implementation of classless addressing as accomplished with CIDR (classless inter-
domain routing).
It is recommended that RIP 2 be used on any segment where all routers can use the same IP routing protocol.
If one or more routers on a segment must use RIP 1, then all other routers on that segment should also be set
to use RIP 1.
RIP configuration task list
To configure RIP, perform the tasks described in the following sections. The tasks in the first two sections are
required; the tasks in the remaining sections are optional. Most of the RIP commands have the character of a
flag, which is either enabled or disabled.
•
Enabling send RIP
•
Enabling an interface to receive RIP (see
page 199
)
•
Specifying the send RIP version (see
page 199
)
•
Specifying the receive RIP version (see
page 200
)
•
Enabling RIP learning (see

Enabling send RIP
By default an interface does not send any routing information. This procedure describes how to enable sending
RIP packets on interface
