Setting the Send and Receive Version
To change the RIP version globally or on an interface in Dell EMC Networking OS, use the following command.
To specify the RIP version, use the version command in ROUTER RIP mode. To set an interface to receive only one or the
other version, use the ip rip send version or the ip rip receive version commands in INTERFACE mode.
You can set one RIP version globally on the system using system. This command sets the RIP version for RIP traffic on the
interfaces participating in RIP unless the interface was specifically configured for a specific RIP version.
● Set the RIP version sent and received on the system.
ROUTER RIP mode
version {1 | 2}
● Set the RIP versions received on that interface.
INTERFACE mode
ip rip receive version [1] [2]
● Set the RIP versions sent out on that interface.
INTERFACE mode
ip rip send version [1] [2]
To see whether the version command is configured, use the show config command in ROUTER RIP mode.
The following example shows the RIP configuration after the ROUTER RIP mode version command is set to RIPv2. When
you set the ROUTER RIP mode version command, the interface () participating in the RIP process is also set to send and
receive RIPv2 (shown in bold).
To view the routing protocols configuration, use the show ip protocols command in EXEC mode.
To configure an interface to receive or send both versions of RIP, include 1 and 2 in the command syntax. The command syntax
for sending both RIPv1 and RIPv2 and receiving only RIPv2 is shown in the following example.
DellEMC(conf-if)#ip rip send version 1 2
DellEMC(conf-if)#ip rip receive version 2
The following example of the show ip protocols command confirms that both versions are sent out that interface. This
interface no longer sends and receives the same RIP versions as Dell EMC Networking OS does globally (shown in bold).
Generating a Default Route
Traffic is forwarded to the default route when the traffic’s network is not explicitly listed in the routing table.
Default routes are not enabled in RIP unless specified. Use the default-information originate command in ROUTER
RIP mode to generate a default route into RIP. In Dell EMC Networking OS, default routes received in RIP updates from other
routes are advertised if you configure the default-information originate command.
● Specify the generation of a default route in RIP.
ROUTER RIP mode
default-information originate [always] [metric value] [route-map route-map-name]
○ always: Enter the keyword always to always generate a default route.
○ value The range is from 1 to 16.
○ route-map-name: The name of a configured route map.
To confirm that the default route configuration is completed, use the show config command in ROUTER RIP mode.
Summarize Routes
Routes in the RIPv2 routing table are summarized by default, thus reducing the size of the routing table and improving routing
efficiency in large networks.
By default, the autosummary command in ROUTER RIP mode is enabled and summarizes RIP routes up to the classful network
boundary.
