rip version

Function

The rip version command sets the RIP version of an interface.

The undo rip version command restores the default setting.

By default, an interface sends only RIP-1 packets, but it can receive both RIP-1 and RIP-2 packets.

Format

rip version { 1 | 2 [ broadcast | multicast ] }

undo rip version

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
1	Indicates RIP-1 packets.	-
2	Indicates RIP-2 packets.	-
broadcast	Indicates that RIP-2 packets are sent in broadcast mode.	-
multicast	Indicates that RIP-2 packets are sent in multicast mode. NOTE: By default, RIP-2 packets are sent in multicast mode.	-

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The versions of the request packets and response packets vary with the configured RIP version.

If the version of RIP is not set, a device sends RIP-1 packets in broadcast mode and receives the RIP-1 and RIP-2 packets that are sent in broadcast mode.
If the RIP version is set to RIP-1, a device sends only RIP-1 packets in broadcast mode and receives the RIP-1 packets that are sent in broadcast mode.
If the RIP version is set to RIP-2, a device sends only RIP-2 packets in multicast mode and receives RIP-2 packets that are sent in multicast or broadcast mode.
If the RIP version is set to multicast RIP-2, a device sends RIP-2 packets in multicast mode and receives RIP-2 packets that are sent in multicast mode.
If the RIP version is set to broadcast RIP-2, a device sends RIP-2 packets in broadcast mode and receives RIP-1 and RIP-2 packets.

Precautions

You can also set a RIP version in a RIP process, but the RIP version that is set on an interface has a higher priority.

Example

# Send RIP-2 packets in broadcast mode.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] interface vlanif 100
[HUAWEI-Vlanif100] rip version 2 broadcast

# Send RIP-2 packets in broadcast mode.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
[HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] undo portswitch
[HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] rip version 2 broadcast
