Multiple choice

RIPv2 is the configured routing protocol on the routers in a network. The command Router(config-router)# no version 2 is entered on the routers. What effect does entering this command have on routing updates?

  1. Subnet masks will be added to the routing updates.

  2. Routing updates will be sent out using multicast address 224.0.0.9.

  3. Version 1 and 2 updates will be received and the version 2 updates will not be sent.

  4. The RIP routing process will be removed from the router and routing updates will not be forwarded.

Explanation

When the no version 2 command is used in RIP configuration, the router stops sending RIPv2 updates but still receives both RIPv1 and RIPv2 updates. This allows compatibility with mixed-version networks during migration. The router doesn't add subnet masks (RIPv1 doesn't support them), doesn't use multicast (RIPv1 uses broadcast 255.255.255.255), and doesn't remove RIP entirely - it just changes the transmission behavior to version 1 while remaining backward-compatible for receiving.
