How to configure RIP v1 and RIP v2

The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a distance-vector interior gateway protocol that uses hop count as its metric.

RIP version 1 (v1) is a classfull routing protocol.

RIP version 2 (v2) is classless.

To enable RIP routing on a Cisco router, issue the router rip command in global configuration mode.

To specify a list of networks for the RIP routing process, issue the network command in router configuration mode.

By default, RIP enabled routers run RIP v1.

To specify a Routing Information Protocol (RIP) version used globally by the router, issue the version command in router configuration mode.

A RIP router might need to be able to exchange updates with both v1 and v2 routers.

To specify a Routing RIP version to send on an interface basis, issue the ip rip send version command in interface configuration mode.

To specify a Routing Information Protocol (RIP) version to receive on an interface basis, issue the ip rip receive version command in interface configuration mode.
