5.Select a Send Mode and a Receive Mode.
The Send Mode setting indicates the RIP version this interface will use when it sends its route information to other devices.
The Receive Mode setting indicates the RIP version(s) in which information must be passed to the Router in order for it to be accepted into its routing table.
RIP version 1 is the original RIP protocol. Select RIP1 if you have devices that communicate with this interface that understand RIP version 1 only.
RIP version 2 is the preferred selection because it supports "classless" IP addresses (which are used to create subnets) and other features. Select RIP2 if all other routing devices on your LAN support this version of the protocol.
