    Sorry found the answer:

     

    • RIP Version: This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the router sends. (It recognizes both formats when receiving.) By default, this is set for RIP-1.
      • Disabled will disable the RIP feature completely.
      • RIP-1 is universally supported. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network setup.
      • RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing data in RIP-2 format.
      • RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting.
      • RIP-2M uses multicasting. (See note below.)
