262 CHAPTER 27: RIP CONFIGURATION
n
■ If you make some RIP configurations in interface view before enabling RIP,
those configurations will take effect after RIP is enabled.
■ RIP runs only on the interfaces residing on the specified networks. Therefore,
you need to specify the network after enabling RIP to validate RIP on a specific
interface.
■ You can enable RIP on all interfaces using the command network 0.0.0.0.
Configuring the interface behavior
Follow these steps to configure the interface behavior:
Configuring a RIP version
You can configure a RIP version in RIP or interface view.
■ If neither global nor interface RIP version is configured, the interface sends
RIPv1 broadcasts and can receive RIPv1 broadcast and unicast packets, and
RIPv2 broadcast, multicast, and unicast packets.
■ If an interface has no RIP version configured, it uses the global RIP version;
otherwise it uses the RIP version configured on it.
■ With RIPv1 configured, an interface sends RIPv1 broadcasts, and can receive
RIPv1 broadcasts and RIPv1 unicasts.
■ With RIPv2 configured, a multicast interface sends RIPv2 multicasts and can
receive RIPv2 unicasts, broadcasts and multicasts.
■ With RIPv2 configured, a broadcast interface sends RIPv2 broadcasts and can
receive RIPv1 unicasts, and broadcasts, and RIPv2 broadcasts, multicasts and
unicasts.
