174 CHAPTER 6: USING ROUTING PROTOCOL COMMANDS Parameters 1 Enter to set the interface version to RIP-1. 2 Enter to set the interface version to RIP-2. broadcast Enter to set the transmission mode of an RIP-2 packet to broadcast. multicast Enter to set the transmission mode of an RIP-2 packet to multicast. Description Use the rip version command to configure the version number of RIP packets on an interface. Use the undo rip version command to restore the default RIP packet version on the interface. The interface RIP version is RIP-1. By default, RIP-1 transmits packets in broadcast mode, while RIP-2 transmits packets in multicast mode. When running RIP-1, the interface receives and transmits RIP-1 packets, and can also receive RIP-2 broadcast packets. When running RIP-2 in broadcast mode, the interface receives and transmits RIP-2 broadcast packets, and can also receive both RIP-1 packets and RIP-2 multicast packets. When running RIP-2 in multicast mode, the interface receives and transmits RIP-2 multicast packets, and can also receive RIP-2 broadcast packets. The interface can not receive RIP-1 packets. Example To configure the interface Vlan-interface 1 to RIP-2 broadcast mode, enter the following: system-view System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
