PROTOCOL
Write security: 2; Read security: 2
(Only visible if RIP is enabled.) Sets the version of RIP being used on this interface. The options are
RIP V1 and RIP V2. If RIP V2 is used, a new menu, AUTHENTICATION, opens.
If RIP V2 is used, a user-defined secret may have to be created.
METHOD

options are listed below:
NONE All routes in the router table are advertised through this interface with

POISON REVERSE All routes are advertised, but the routes learned through this interface
are “poisoned” with an infinite route metric.
