Command Usage
Specifying Receive and Send Protocol Types
◆ Specify the protocol message type accepted (that is, RIP version) and the
message type sent (that is, RIP version or compatibility mode) for each RIP
interface.
◆ Setting the RIP Receive Version or Send Version for an interface overrides the
global setting specified in the RIP General Settings screen (see “Configuring
General Protocol Settings” on page 699).
◆ The Send Version can be specified based on these options:
■
Use “RIPv1” or “RIPv2” if all routers in the local network are based on RIPv1
or RIPv2, respectively.
■
Use “RIPv1 Compatible” to propagate route information by broadcasting to
other routers on the network using the RIPv2 advertisement list, instead of
