Configuring a RIP version

You can configure a global RIP version in RIP view or an interface-specific RIP version in interface view.

An interface preferentially uses the interface-specific RIP version. If no interface-specific version is specified, the interface uses the global RIP version. If neither a global nor interface-specific RIP version is configured, the interface sends RIPv1 broadcasts and can receive the following:
