rip version 2 multicast

Function

The rip version 2 multicast command sets that RIP-2 packets are sent in multicast mode.

The undo rip version command restores the default RIP version.

By default, the version running on an interface is 1.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

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

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.

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

# Configure GigabitEthernet 0/1/0 to multicast RIP-2 packets.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] interface GigabitEthernet 0/1/0
[~HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet0/1/0] rip version 2 multicast
