(Optional) Configuring the RIP Version

Context

RIP versions include RIP-1 and RIP-2. The RIP version must be configured on the device running RIP. Configure the global RIP version unless you need to specify a different RIP version on an interface.

Procedure

Configure the global RIP version.
1. Run system-view
  The system view is displayed.
2. Run rip [ process-id ]
  The RIP view is displayed.
3. Run version { 1 | 2 }
  The global RIP version is configured.
  
  By default, an interface sends only RIP-1 packets and receives both RIP-1 and RIP-2 packets.
Configure the RIP version on an interface.
1. Run system-view
  The system view is displayed.
2. Run interface interface-type interface-number
  The interface view is displayed.
3. (Optional) On an Ethernet interface, run undo portswitch
  The interface is switched to Layer 3 mode.
  
  By default, an Ethernet interface works in Layer 2 mode.
  
  Only the S5720-EI, S5720-HI, S5730-HI, S5731-H, S5731-S, S5731S-H, S5731S-S, S5732-H, S6720-EI, S6720-HI, S6720S-EI, S6730-H, S6730S-H, S6730-S, and S6730S-S support switching between Layer 2 and Layer 3 modes.
4. Run rip version { 1 | 2 [ broadcast | multicast ] }
  The RIP version is configured on the interface.
  - By default, an interface sends only RIP-1 packets and receives both RIP-1 and RIP-2 packets.
  - If no RIP version is configured in the interface view, the global RIP version is used. The RIP version configured on an interface takes precedence over the global RIP version.
