Hi

You are correct in your answer. If the lab requires RIPV2 without
multicast or unicast this would be the command to use.

hi,

my guess would be, that with send/receive version 1 you send actually
RIPv1 packets. So no authentication etc. just plain old RIPv1.
With the command v2-broadcast you send RIPv2 packets to broadcast
instead of multicast inlcuding all those nice RIPv2 features like
authentication and VLSM etc.

somebody correct me if I am wrong.
