From what I understand, the normal way to configure RIP is as follows:

router# config t
router(config)# router rip
router(config-router)# network 207.29.214.0

I saw in a book (Syngress Test Yourself CCNA) the following:

router# config t
router(config)# router rip
router(config-router)# version 2
router(config-router)# network 207.29.214.0

From what I understand, IP Classless and prefix routing are not supported in RIPv1, and RIPv2 is implemented by default. With the above example (second one) would this be only on older IOSs or would this example be wrong?

Any input would be appreciated.

By default (no version command), you receive v1 and v2, but send only v1.

With version 1 you're RIPv1: receive v1, send v1.

With version 2 you're RIPv2: receive v2, send v2.

I still have to figure out how the default works:
- is the router v1 which happens to receive v2 updates (are the destinations in v2 updates "promoted" to classfull destinations?!)
- os the router is v2 that happens to send only v1 updates.

Ideas, anyone?!
