The RIP Version field controls the format and the broadcasting

method of the RIP packets that the device sends (it recognizes both

formats when receiving). RIP-1 is universally supported but RIP-2

carries more information. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most

networks, unless you have an unusual network topology. Both RIP-

2B and RIP-2M sends the routing data in RIP-2 format; the

difference being that RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting while RIP-

2M uses multicasting. Multicasting can reduce the load on non-

router machines since they generally do not listen to the RIP

multicast address and so will not receive the RIP packets. However,

if one router uses multicasting, then all routers on your network

must use multicasting, also. By default, RIP direction is set to Both

and the Version set to RIP-1.
