Specifying the receive RIP version

By default, RIP version 1 and version 2 packets are received. Alternatively, you can explicitly configure the RIP version to be received with the last command argument as following:

•1—to receive RIP version 1 packets

•1or2—to receive RIP version 1 and version 2 packets

•2—to receive RIP version 2 packets

This procedure describes how to set receiving RIP version on an interface

Mode: Interface

Step Command Purpose

1node(if-ip)[name]# rip receive version {1 1or2 2} Selects receive RIP version for interface name

Example: Specifying the receive RIP

The following example shows how to select receive RIP version 1or2 on IP interface wan.

node(cfg)#context ip router node(ctx-ip)[router]#interface wan node(if-ip)[wan]#rip receive version 1or2

Enabling RIP learning

A new route is added to the local routing table, if the routing update contains a route to a destination that does not already exist. If the update describes a route whose destination is already in the local table, the new route is used only if it has a lower cost. The cost of a route is determined by adding the cost of reaching the gateway that sent the update to the metric contained in the RIP update packet. If the total metric is less than the metric of the current route, the new route is used. Two RIP learning mechanisms are offered, which are represented by a specific argument of the command rip learn:

•host—for RIP learn host and

•default—for RIP learn default

See the following sections on how to configure those two RIP learning mechanisms.

This procedure describes how to enable accepting of IP host and default routes received on an interface for RIP learning

Mode: Interface

Step	Command	Purpose
1	node(if-ip)[name]# rip learn host	Enables accepting of IP host routes received on interface
		name
2	node(if-ip)[name]#rip learn default	Enables learning using a default route advertised by an RIP
		neighbor on interface name

Example: Enabling RIP learn host and default
