基本配置如下：
R1：
interface Loopback0
 ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 secondary
 ip address 1.1.2.1 255.255.255.0
!        
interface FastEthernet0/0
 no ip address
 shutdown
 duplex half
!        
interface Serial1/0
 ip address 12.1.1.1 255.255.255.224
 serial restart-delay 0
!        
Ｒ２：
interface Loopback0
 ip address 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.0
!        
interface FastEthernet0/0
 no ip address
 shutdown
 duplex half
!        
interface Serial1/0
 ip address 12.1.1.2 255.255.255.224
 serial restart-delay 0
!        
interface Serial1/1
 ip address 23.1.1.2 255.255.255.224
 serial restart-delay 0
!        
Ｒ３：
interface Loopback0
 ip address 3.3.3.3 255.255.255.0
!        
interface FastEthernet0/0
 no ip address
 shutdown
 duplex half
!        
interface Serial1/0
 ip address 23.1.1.3 255.255.255.224
 serial restart-delay 0
!        
为了使该五个网段能够互联，我们启用RIP协议，
1） 在不指定版本的情况，缺省是发送v1的消息，接收v1和v2的消息，这是RFC中定义的Both兼容模式（其实是Version2）
配置如下：
R1(config)#router rip
R1(config-router)#net 1.1.1.0
R1(config-router)#net 1.1.2.0 ――――――― 在相应的端口启用RIP协议。
R1(config-router)#net 12.1.1.0
。
。
。
R2(config)#router rip
R2(config-router)#net 12.1.1.0
R2(config-router)#net 23.1.1.0
R2(config-router)#net 2.2.2.0
。
。
。
R3(config)#router rip
R3(config-router)#net 3.3.3.0
R3(config-router)#net 23.1.1.0

在不关闭自动汇总的情况下，查看路由表如下：

注意观察发现，RIPv1的更新信息中没有下一跳地址，RIPv2更新信息的下一跳地址均为0.0.0.0，说明自己的链路接口地址为最佳地址，如果有更好的下一跳地址，该字段就不是0.0.0.0了。这在以后的更新中会详细描述！
