The router can be configured to operate either 
RIP version 1 or RIP version 2 on each IP 
interface. The configuration of the RIP version 
must be consistent on each subnet. That is, all 
routers should be configured with the same RIP 
version on their interface to the subnet.

When possible, homogeneous configuration of 
the RIP version in the network is 
recommended.

• 

 - The router runs regular RIP on that 

interface, following the RIP version 1 
subnet aggregation rules. That is, it 
advertises an aggregate route for the net as 
opposed to advertising subnet routes across 
the network boundary.

• 

 - The router runs RIP version 2 on 

that interface. RIP version 2 
advertisements are sent as multicast rather 
than broadcast. No route aggregation is 
done in RIP version 2. RIP version 2 allows 
for Variable Length Subnets Masks 
(VLSM), meaning that subnets of the same 
net may have masks of different lengths, 
and may be of different sizes.

What the device sends on this interface. Values 
are:

• 

 - RIP updates contain the entire 

routing table.

• 

 - RIP updates contain 

only a single entry. This advertises the 
router as the default router.

• 

 - No RIP updates are sent.

The cost of using this interface. RIP chooses the 
route with the lowest total cost (metric) for 
each destination.

The metric of the default route entry in RIP 
updates originated on this interface, if 
configured to
