How to configure RIP on a Cisco router

Hi @sales2161,

I think this output is confusing, especially when it looks like this:

     172.16.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C       172.16.1.0 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0

On IOS 15, the output is different:

R1#show ip route 

Gateway of last resort is not set

      172.16.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
C        172.16.1.0/24 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/1
L        172.16.1.1/32 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/1
      192.168.12.0/24 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
C        192.168.12.0/24 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/2
L        192.168.12.1/32 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/2

It now shows 172.16.0.0/16 as “variably subnetted” together with the network address and IP address. This output is easier to read.
