z

If you make some RIP configurations in interface view before enabling RIP, those configurations
will take effect after RIP is enabled.

z

RIP runs only on the interfaces residing on the specified networks. Therefore, you need to specify
the network after enabling RIP to validate RIP on a specific interface.

z

You can enable RIP on all interfaces using the command network 0.0.0.0.

Configuring the interface behavior

Follow these steps to configure the interface behavior:

Configuring a RIP version

You can configure a RIP version in RIP or interface view.

z

If neither global nor interface RIP version is configured, the interface sends RIPv1 broadcasts and
can receive RIPv1 broadcast and unicast packets, and RIPv2 broadcast, multicast, and unicast
packets.

z

If an interface has no RIP version configured, it uses the global RIP version; otherwise it uses the
RIP version configured on it.

z

With RIPv1 configured, an interface sends RIPv1 broadcasts, and can receive RIPv1 broadcasts
and RIPv1 unicasts.

z

With RIPv2 configured, a multicast interface sends RIPv2 multicasts and can receive RIPv2
unicasts, broadcasts and multicasts.

z

With RIPv2 configured, a broadcast interface sends RIPv2 broadcasts and can receive RIPv1
unicasts, and broadcasts, and RIPv2 broadcasts, multicasts and unicasts.
