Two versions of RIP exist:

RIPv1 (defined in RFC 1058):

-

Routes are specified by IP destination network and hop count

-

The routing table is broadcast to all devices on the attached network

RIPv2 (defined in RFC 1723):

-

The route specification also includes the subnet mask and gateway

-

The routing table is sent to a multicast address, reducing network traffic

-

Authentication is used for security

You can configure an interface to do the following:

Receive packets in either or both formats

Send packets formatted for RIPv1 or RIPv2, or send RIPv2 packets to the RIPv1
broadcast address

Prevent any RIP packets from being received

Prevent any RIP packets from being sent
