RIP 2 is more useful in a variety of environments and allows the use of vari- able subnet masks on your network. It is also necessary for implementation of “classless” addressing as accomplished with CIDR (Classless Inter Domain Routing).
It is recommended that RIP 2 be used on any segment where all routers can use the same IP routing protocol. If one or more routers on a segment must use RIP 1, then all other routers on that segment should also be set to use RIP 1.
•If RIP 2 is selected with this
•If RIP 1 is selected with this
•If None is selected with this
ϖ Note: Some routers, in particular those designed to create very large corporate backbones, may use other routing protocols such as OSPF (Open Shortest Path First). These routers can simultaneously use RIP 1 (and in some cases RIP 2) to communicate with smaller routers, or each of the smaller routers can be set to use one of these backbone routers as their default router.

WAN interfaces which are configured to provide
The RIP protocol periodically sends out update information across a link. These periodic update packets will cause a WAN interface set for
