58.3.5 Appointing the RIP Version Number
The RIP-2 of our company's router supports Authentication, Password Management, Route summary, CIDR
and VLSM.
Under the default circumstance, the router can receive the updates of RIPv1 and RIPv2, while it can only send
the updates of RIP-1. By configuration, the router can be set to receive and send the updates of RIPv1 only,
or receive and send the updates of RIPv2 only. For this purpose, the following commands should be taken
in the router configuration mode:
Command Purpose
version
{1 | 2} Configure the router to send and receive the updates
of RIPv1 or RIPv2 only.
The above tasks are controlling the default behavior of the RIP. And you can also configure a certain interface
to change this default behavior. In order to control the interface to send the RIP-1 updates or the RIP-2 updates,
the following commands shall be used under interface configuration mode.
Command Purpose
ip rip send version 1
Configure the interface to send the updates of RIP-1 only.
ip rip send
version 2
Configure the interface to send the updates of RIP-2 only.
ip rip send version compatibility
Send by broadcasting t the Updating of RIP-2.message.
At the same time, to control the interface to receive the updates of RIP-1 and RIP-2, the following commands
shall be used under the interface configuration mode:
Command Purpose
ip rip receive version 1
Configure the interface to receive the updates of RIP-
1 only.
ip rip receive version 2
Configure the interface to receive the updates of RIP-
2 only.
ip rip receive version 1 2
Configure the interface to receive the updates of RIP-
1 and RIP-2 only.
58.3.6 Enabling the RIP Authentication
RIP-1 does not support Authentication. If you would like to send and receive the updates of RIP-2, you can
activate the function of RIP Authentication on the interface.
On the activated interface of RIP, we support 2 kinds of Authentication Modes: Plaintext Authentication and
MD5 Authentication. the Plaintext authentication is used in each subgroups of BIP-2 under default status.
