RIPv2
RIPv2 adds support for subnet fields in the RIP routing updates, thus qualifying it as a classless routing
protocol.
The RIPv2 message format includes entries for route tags, subnet masks, and next hop addresses. Another
enhancement included in RIPv2 is multicasting for route updates on IP multicast address 224.0.0.9.
Implementation Information
The Dell Networking OS supports both versions of RIP and allows you to configure one version globally and
the other version on interfaces or both versions on the interfaces.
The following table lists the default values for RIP parameters on the switch.

Configuration Information
By default, RIP is disabled on the switch.
To configure RIP, you must use commands in two modes: ROUTER RIP and INTERFACE. Commands
executed in the ROUTER RIP mode configure RIP globally, while commands executed in the INTERFACE
mode configure RIP features on that interface only.
RIP is best suited for small, homogeneous networks. You must configure all devices within the RIP network to
support RIP if they are to participate in the RIP.
