9284.0. "How to show version of RIP?" by CSC32::A_LICAUSE () Tue Mar 25 1997 13:57

    Is there any way to query a dunix system to find what version of RIP
    it is running?
    
    If not, is there a table or reference that would show the RIP version
    for various versions of the OS?
    
    Does this make sense?
    
    thanks,
    Al

    not sure what version you're looking for, but in 
    /usr/include/protocols/routed.h 
    there's 
    #define RIPVERSION      1

    Thanks on .1
    
    someone else pointed out that the version of RIP is included in the
    packet, so if you have a chart on the packet format, you can run 
    tcpdump or some sniffer and pull it.
    
    I couldn't find anything using snmp.  I was hoping that the version
    would be included in a MIB variable somewhere...no such luck
