I was able to change the RIP version using the version command. Here is my console output: S3048-ON>enS3048-ON#confS3048-ON(conf)#router rip S3048-ON(conf)#router rip S3048-ON(conf-router_rip)#version ?<1-2>                   Version (default = 1)                   S3048-ON(conf-router_rip)#version 2S3048-ON(conf-router_rip)#show config!router rip version 2  Can you share with us your console output where you are running into issue entering the command?  
Hi i have some trouble configuring rip on my force10 switch i would like to go to rip version 2 to be able to have cidr  in the documentation i can read  You can set one RIP version globally on the system using system. This command sets the RIP version for RIP traffic on the interfaces participating in RIP unless the interface was specifically configured for a specific RIP version.  Set the RIP version sent and received on the system. ROUTER RIP mode version {1 | 2]but when i ran in conf mode i can't enter any argument to the router rip commandthen how can i globally activate rip version 2?
