rip version

Function

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

The undo rip version command restores the default RIP version.

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

Format

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The versions of request 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.

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.

RIP-1 ensures lower security than RIP-2. Therefore, configuring RIP-2 is recommended.

Example

# Configure GE 0/1/0 to send RIP-2 packets.
