Setting a Global RIP Version

This command specifies which type of RIP updates the ProCurve Secure
Router will both send and listen for:
Syntax: version [1 | 2]
The default version is 1.
Because RIP v2 provides significant advantages over RIP v1, you may want to
use v2 if possible. Advantages of RIP v2 include:
Variable-length subnet masks are supported.
Route summaries for classful subnets are supported.
Updates include the next-hop IP address.
EGP is supported (so routes can include an AS number).
Updates are multicast to RIP v2 interfaces only, rather than broadcast to
all devices.
See "RIP Updates, v1 and v2" on page 15-13 in the RIP overview for more
information about the differences between RIP v1 and RIP v2.
If your network primarily uses RIP v1, you should select version 1 as the global
version. ProCurve Secure Router does not support RIP compatibility mode.

Setting RIP Versions for Particular Interfaces

You do not need to configure an interface's RIP version to enable RIP on that
interface. Advertising a network automatically enables RIP on the interface
with an address on that network. (See "Specifying Networks That Will Partic-
ipate in RIP" on page 15-21.)
You only need to set the RIP version for individual interfaces when your WAN
uses both RIP v1 and RIP v2. In this case, you must configure certain interfaces
to transmit and receive a version different from the global version. (The
ProCurve Secure Router does not support RIP compatibility mode, and an
interface listening for v2 updates will reject v1 updates.) If you are using both
v1 and v2, you should configure each RIP interface on the router to implement
the version used by the devices to which that interface connects.
You configure the RIP version on the Layer 2 interface. (Any Layer 2 interface
on the ProCurve Secure Router can run RIP.) Move to the Ethernet or logical
interface configuration mode context and enter this command:
Syntax: ip rip [send | receive] version [1 | 2]
