6. Specify a RIP version for the
interface.
rip version { 1 | 2 [ broadcast |
multicast ] }
Optional.
By default, if an interface has no
RIP version specified, the global
version takes effect. If no global RIP
version is specified, the interface
can send RIPv1 broadcasts, and
receive RIPv1 broadcasts and
unicasts, and RIPv2 broadcasts,
multicasts, and unicasts.
Configuring RIP route control
Before you configure RIP routing feature, complete the following tasks:
• Configure IP addresses for interfaces to ensure IP connectivity between neighboring routers.
• Configure basic RIP.
Configuring an additional routing metric
An additional routing metric (hop count) can be added to the metric of an inbound or outbound RIP
route.
An outbound additional metric is added to the metric of a sent route, and it does not change the route's
metric in the routing table.
An inbound additional metric is added to the metric of a received route before the route is added into the
routing table, and the route's metric is changed. If the sum of the additional metric and the original metric
is greater than 16, the metric of the route becomes 16.
To configure additional routing metrics:

additional routing metric.
rip metricin [ route-policy

Optional.
The default setting is 0.

additional routing metric.
rip metricout [ route-policy

Optional.
The default setting is 1.
Configuring RIPv2 route summarization
Perform this task to summarize contiguous subnets into a summary network and sends the network to
neighbors. The smallest metric among all summarized routes is used as the metric of the summary route.
1. Enabling RIPv2 automatic route summarization
Automatic summarization enables RIPv2 to generate a natural network for contiguous subnets. For
example, suppose there are three subnet routes 10.1.1.0/24, 10.1.2.0/24, and 10.1.3.0/24. Automatic
summarization automatically creates and advertises a summary route 10.0.0.0/8 instead of the more
specific routes.
