Can we run RIP V1 and RIP V2 in same router?

Hi,

I have a question like can you please let me know, can we run RIP V1 & RIP V2 on the same router? If yes then how? if not then why not?

It is true that properties are different of them..!

Hi,

It is possible to run both RIPv1 and RIPv2 at the same time.
If you enter the version 2 command under router rip then the router will run only version 2. And if you enter the version 1 command under router rip then the router will run only version 1. But if you do not enter any version command, then the router will run both.
there is only a single routing table which would be fed by either or both of RIP versions 1 and 2.

To control which RIP version an interface sends, use the following commands in interface configuration mode, as needed:

Router(config-if)# ip rip send version 1 2

Configures an interface to send RIP Version 1 and Version 2 packets.

Router(config-if)# ip rip receive version 1 2

Configures an interface to accept either RIP Version 1 or 2 packets.

Hi, 

Yes, it can work. By default on the Cisco routers, RIPv2 and RIPv1 can work, unless you will not define any version under the "Router RIP" command.
