Router RIP

[vimukthilk]

As we know by default, routers are configured to receive any version of rip (1 or 2) updates.

If we manually set the version (version 1 or version 2) via config, this changes to version 1 or 2 respectively.

Can anyone tell me how I can get the router to receive any version of rip again without clearing configs and starting again. In other words, is there a setting that lets me do that?

Thank you.

If you want to go back to default, then just type "no version"

If you want to send/accept either RIP Version 1 or 2 packets.

Router(config) # int e0

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

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

Thank you both for your replies.

What I was after was a command I could give without doing it for each interface i.e. globally. Reza's "no version" command works.

Now here's a challenge (well to me it is anyway).

Default is as we know:

Router#show ip protocols gives...

Default version control: send version 1, receive any version

Now If I do Router(config-router)#version 2 :

Router#show ip protocols gives...

Default version control: send version 2, receive version 2

As I have learnt from your replies by doing Router(config-router)#no version :

Router#show ip protocols goes back to...

Default version control: send version 1, receive any version

How about if I want router to send version 2 updates but receive any version, in other words how do I get

Router#show ip protocols to give me...

Default version control: send version 2, receive any version

again, instead of doing it individually per interface (of course I know I can use the range command, but that's not what I'm after) a global command to do this. I look forward to your replies.

Thanks again.

Hi,

There is no global command to achieve what you want , the only global command concerning versions are:

-no version ---> default  send 1 receive any

-version 2 ---> send and receive 2

-version 1 ----> send and receive 1

If you want other combinations you'll have to use the interface commands proposed above.

Regards.
