## Platform Support

The following table describes per-platform support of individual RIPv2/RIPng features:

| Operating system      | IPv4<br>(RIPv2) | IPv6<br>(RIPng) | Passive<br>interfaces |
| ------------------ | :-: | :-: | :-: |

## Lab Topology Parameters

RIPv2/RIPng module does not have global or node parameters. It supports [](routing_passive) and [](routing_external).

## Example

We want to create a simple two-router RIPv2 network using Cumulus Linux:

```
defaults.device: cumulus
module: [ ripv2 ]
```

The lab has two nodes and a link between them:
```
nodes: [ r1, r2 ]
links: [ r1-r2 ]
```

This is the resulting RIPv2 FRRouting configuration for R1:

```
router rip
 network lo
 network swp1
 version 2
```
