Configuring an RIP version
You can configure an RIP version in RIP view or interface view under the following conditions:
•
If neither global nor interface RIP version is configured, then the interface sends RIPv1
broadcasts and can receive RIPv1 broadcast and unicast packets, and RIPv2 broadcast,
multicast, and unicast packets.
•
If an interface has no RIP version configured, then it uses the global RIP version; otherwise, it
uses the RIP version configured on it.
•
With RIPv1 configured, an interface sends RIPv1 broadcasts, and can receive RIPv1
broadcasts and unicasts.
•
With RIPv2 configured, a multicast interface sends RIPv2 multicasts and can receive RIPv2
unicasts, broadcasts, and multicasts.
•
With RIPv2 configured, a broadcast interface sends RIPv2 broadcasts and can receive RIPv1
unicasts and broadcasts, and RIPv2 broadcasts, multicasts, and unicasts.

By default, if an interface has a
RIP version specified, the version
takes precedence over the
global one. If no RIP version is
specified for an interface, the
interface can send RIPv1
broadcasts, and receive RIPv1
broadcasts and unicasts, and
RIPv2 broadcasts, multicasts,
and unicasts.

Configuring RIP route control
In complex networks, you must configure advanced RIP features.
Before configuring RIP routing feature, complete the following tasks:
•
Configure an IP address for each interface, and ensure all neighboring routers are
reachable to each other.
