-More efficient (uses multicast instead of broadcast)
-Supports classless addresses

Syntax

Router(config-router)#version 2

Example

Here is the version 1 debug for R3.

R3(config-router)#do debug ip rip
RIP protocol debugging is on
R3(config-router)#

Next, version 2 is configured for all routers using the below commands.

R3#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
R3(config)#router rip
R3(config-router)#version 2

Here is the version 2 debug. Notice the multicast address 224.0.0.9

R3(config-router)#version 2
R3(config-router)#do debug ip rip
RIP protocol debugging is on
