Interface configuration
Usage Guideline
Use the
ip rip v2-broadcast
command to broadcast RIP Version 2 broadcast
updates to hosts that do not listen to multicast broadcasts. Version 2 updates
(requests and responses) will be sent to the IP broadcast address (e.g.
10.70.89.255) instead of the IP multicast address 224.0.0.9.
In order to reduce unnecessary load on those hosts that are not listening to RIP
Version 2 broadcasts, the system uses an IP multicast address for periodic
broadcasts. The IP multicast address is 224.0.0.9.
This command applies only to the interface being configured.
Example
The following example shows how to configure the interface (VLAN 100) to
broadcast Version 2 RIP packets:
Verify the settings by entering the
show ip rip interface
command.
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface vlan100
Switch(config-if)# ip rip send version 2
Switch(config-if)# ip rip v2-broadcast
Switch(config-if)# end
