1186 CHAPTER 77: RIP CONFIGURATION COMMANDS
If no RIP version is specified for the interface and the global version is RIP-1, the
interface inherits RIP-1, and then it can send RIP-1 broadcasts, and receive RIP-1
broadcasts and unicasts.
If no RIP version is specified for the interface and the global version is RIP-2, the
interface inherits RIP-2, and then it can send RIP-2 multicasts, and receive RIP-2
broadcasts, multicasts and unicasts.
On a ComwareV5 device, you can configure the RIP version in RIP view and in
interface view. On a ComwareV3 device, you can only perform such
configuration in interface view.
To enable a ComwareV5 device in the RIP-1 mode to interoperate with a
ComwareV3 device in the RIP-2 broadcast mode, you need to use the undo
version command in RIP view and the undo rip version in interface view to
remove related RIP version configuration from the ComwareV5 device.
For a ComwareV5 device, the case that no RIP version is configured is different
from the case that RIP-1 is configured. The former one uses the default RIP-1
version that is compatible with RIP-2, but the latter one is not compatible with
RIP-2.
Examples # Specify RIP-2 as the global RIP version.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] rip 100
[Sysname-rip-100] version 2
