Configuring RIPv2


  • Comparing RIPv1 & RIPv2 Message Formats
    • -RIPv2 Message format is similar to RIPv1 but has 2 extensions
      • 1st extension is the subnet mask field
      • 2nd extension is the addition of next hop address

  • Enabling and Verifying RIPv2
  • Configuring RIP on a Cisco router By default it is running RIPv1
  • Configuring RIPv2 on a Cisco route
    • Requires using the version 2 command
    • RIPv2 ignores RIPv1updates
  • To verify RIPv2 is configured use the show ip protocols command
  • Auto-Summary & RIPv2
  • RIPv2 will automatically summarize routes at major network boundaries and can also summarize routes with a subnet mask that is smaller than the classful subnet mask


  • Disabling Auto- Summary in RIPv2
  • To disable automatic summarization issue the no auto-summary command

  • Verifying RIPv2 Updates
  • When using RIPv2 with automatic summarization turned off Each subnet and mask has its own specific entry, along with the exit interface and next-hop address to reach that subnet.
  • To verify information being sent by RIPv2 use the debug ip rip command
