Important Considerations

The RIP-1 compatibility mode determines how the software sends
periodic RIP-2 updates. (For RIP-1, the software never uses the
multicast address; it uses the advertisement list.)

When the system is configured to advertise RIP-2 packets and
compatibility mode is

disabled

, the software uses the multicast

address of 224.0.0.9 when sending periodic updates. This latest
industry recommendation reduces the load on hosts that are not
configured to listen to RIP-2 messages.

When the system is configured to advertise RIP-2 packets and
compatibility mode is

enabled

, the software uses the

advertisement list for RIP-2 updates.
