Cisco IOS XR Routing Configuration Guide
Enabling RIP
This task enables RIP routing and establishes a RIP routing process.
Prerequisites
Although you can configure RIP before you configure an IP address, no RIP routing occurs until at least 
one IP address is configured.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure
2. router rip
3. neighbor ip-address
4. broadcast-for-v2
5. interface type instance
6. receive version {1 | 2 | 1 2}
7. send version {1 | 2 | 1 2}
8. end

commit
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action Purpose
Step 1
configure
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
router rip 
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router rip
Configures a RIP routing process.
Step 3
neighbor 
ip-address
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-rip)# neighbor 
172.160.1.2
(Optional) Defines a neighboring router with which to 
exchange RIP protocol information.
Step 4
broadcast-for-v2
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-rip)# 
broadcast-for-v2
(Optional) Configures RIP to send only Version 2 packets to 
the broadcast IP address rather than the RIP v2 multicast 
address (224.0.0.9). This command can be applied at the 
interface or global configuration level.
