Basic RIP v2 configuration |
RIP v2 is merely an enhancement of RIP v1
and not a separate protocol. The commands for manipulating timers,
metrics, and, updates are exactly the same in both versions. After a
brief look at configuring a RIP v2 process, the rest of this section
concentrates on configuring the new extensions. When RIP is first enabled on a Cisco router, the router listens for version 1 and 2 updates but sends only version 1. To take advantage of version 2 features, it is necessary to turn off version 1 support and enable version 2 updates with the following command:
Router(config)#router rip By default, a RIP process configured on a Cisco router sends only RIP v1 messages but listens to both RIP v1 and RIP v2. This default is changed with the version command. In this mode, the router sends and receives only RIP v2 messages.
Router(config)#router rip The default behavior can be restored by entering the command no version in the config-router mode.
