When configuring RIPv2 on a router, which command is used to enable it?

router rip
enable rip v2
start rip
protocol rip

The correct answer is: router rip

To enable RIPv2 on a router, the correct command is "router rip." This command is part of the router's configuration mode where you designate the routing protocol that you want to use. By entering "router rip," you activate the Routing Information Protocol and can subsequently specify the version by using "version 2" if needed. This establishes the context in which you'll configure the specific parameters for RIPv2, such as network addresses and any optional settings like passive interfaces or route summarization. The other options do not represent valid commands for enabling RIPv2. "Enable rip v2" and "protocol rip" do not fit within the command structure used in Cisco IOS for activating RIP. Similarly, "start rip" is not a recognized command in this context for configuring routing protocols. Understanding the correct syntax is crucial for successful router configuration and ensuring proper communication within a network utilizing RIPv2.
