I think something very fundamental is being missed here. There are
no capabilities of RIPv1 that are not optional capabilities of RIPv2.
If one studies RIPv2 throroughly, there is nothing additional to
learn about RIPv1.

Classless versus classful? It's perfectly valid that a given lab
secenario for RIPv2 or EIGRP might tell you not to include no
auto-summary.

If you don't enable no auto-summary, multicasts, authentication,
demand circuit extensions, and anything I've missed in RIPv2, you are
functionally equivalent to RIPv1. The RIP PDU is the same length, but
just won't have some fields filled in. Both RIPv1 and RIPv2 run over
UDP port 520.

Understanding how to deal with a legacy classful network, be it
RIPv1, IGRP, or even badly configured BGP is a valid real-world skill.
