To view the current RIP configuration, use the show running-config command in EXEC mode or the
show config command in ROUTER RIP mode.
Setting the Send and Receive Version
To change the RIP version globally or on an interface in the system, 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]
Example of an Interface Participating in the RIP Process
Example of Configuring an Interface to Send/Receive Specified Versions of RIP
Example of the show ip protocols Command to Verify RIP Versions on an Interface
To see whether the version command is configured, use the show config command in ROUTER RIP
mode. To view the routing protocols configuration, use the
show ip protocols command in EXEC
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 (GigabitEthernet
0/0) participating in the RIP process is also set to send and receive RIPv2 (shown in bold).
