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.	-

Views

Ethernet interface view, Ethernet sub-interface view, Eth-Trunk interface view, Eth-Trunk sub-interface view, Tunnel interface view, Dialer interface view, VLANIF interface view, Virtual-Template interface view

Default Level

2: Configuration level

Usage Guidelines

If no RIP version is set on an interface, the global RIP version is used.

The RIP-1 protocol poses a security risk, and therefore the RIP-2 protocol is recommended.

Example

# Send RIP-2 packets in broadcast mode.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/1
[sysname-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] rip version 2 broadcast
