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]
Examples of the RIP Process
To see whether the version command is congured, use the show config command in ROUTER RIP mode.
The following example shows the RIP conguration after the ROUTER RIP mode version command is set to RIPv2. When you 
set the ROUTER RIP mode version command, the interface (TenGigabitEthernet 1/1) participating in the RIP process 
is also set to send and receive RIPv2 (shown in bold).
To view the routing protocols conguration, use the show ip protocols command in EXEC mode.
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

Dell#
To congure 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 conrms that both versions are sent out that interface. This 
interface no longer sends and receives the same RIP versions as Dell Networking OS does globally (shown in bold).
