Enable RIP globally
By default, RIP is not enabled in FTOS. To enable RIP, use the following commands in sequence, starting
in the CONFIGURATION mode:
After designating networks with which the system is to exchange RIP information, ensure that all devices
on that network are configured to exchange RIP information.
The FTOS default is to send RIPv1, and to receive RIPv1 and RIPv2. To change the RIP version globally,
use the version command in the ROUTER RIP mode.
When RIP is enabled, you can view the global RIP configuration by using the show running-config
command in the EXEC mode or the show config command (Figure ) in the ROUTER RIP mode.

Step Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
1router rip CONFIGURATION Enter ROUTER RIP mode and enable the RIP process
on FTOS.
2network ip-address ROUTER RIP Assign an IP network address as a RIP network to
exchange routing information.
You can use this command multiple times to exchange
RIP information with as many RIP networks as you
want.
