Cisco IOS XR Routing Configuration Guide
Customize RIP
This task describes how to customize RIP for network timing and the acceptance of route entries.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure
2. router rip
3. auto-summary
4. timers basic update invalid holddown flush
Step 5
interface 
type
instance
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-rip)# interface pos 
0/1/0/0
(Optional) Defines the interfaces on which the RIP routing 
protocol runs.
Step 6
receive version {1 | 2 | 1 2}
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-rip-if)# receive 
version 1 2
(Optional) Configures an interface to accept packets that 
are:
• Only RIP v1
• Only RIP v2
• Both RIP v1 and RIP v2
Step 7
send version {1 | 2 | 1 2}
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-rip-if)# send 
version 1 2
(Optional) Configures an interface to send packets that are:
• Only RIP v1
• Only RIP v2
• Both RIP v1 and RIP v2
Step 8
end
or
commit
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-rip-if)# end
or
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-rip-if)# commit
Saves configuration changes.
• When you issue the end command, the system prompts 
you to commit changes:
Uncommitted changes found, commit them before 
exiting(yes/no/cancel)?
[cancel]:
–
Entering yes saves configuration changes to the 
running configuration file, exits the configuration 
session, and returns the router to EXEC mode.
–
Entering no exits the configuration session and 
returns the router to EXEC mode without 
committing the configuration changes.
–
Entering cancel leaves the router in the current 
configuration session without exiting or 
committing the configuration changes.
• Use the commit command to save the configuration 
changes to the running configuration file and remain 
within the configuration session.
