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 (TengigabitEthernet 0/0) participating in the RIP process is
also set to send and receive RIPv2 (shown in bold).
Dell#show ip protocols
Routing Protocols is RIP
Sending updates every 30 seconds, next due in 23
Invalid after 180 seconds, hold down 180, flushed after 240
Output delay 8 milliseconds between packets
Automatic network summarization is in effect

Dell#
To configure an interface to receive or send both versions of RIP, include 1 and 2 in the command syntax. The command
syntax for sending both RIPv1 and RIPv2 and receiving only RIPv2 is shown in the following example.
Dell(conf-if)#ip rip send version 1 2
Dell(conf-if)#ip rip receive version 2
The following example of the show ip protocols command confirms that both versions are sent out on the interface. This
interface no longer sends and receives the same RIP versions as the system does globally (shown in bold).

Generating a Default Route
Traffic is forwarded to the default route when the traffic’s network is not explicitly listed in the routing table.
Default routes are not enabled in RIP unless specified. Use the default-information originate command in ROUTER RIP
mode to generate a default route into RIP. Default routes received in RIP updates from other routes are advertised if you
configure the
default-information originate command.
• Specify the generation of a default route in RIP.
