Understanding the Sending and Receiving of RIPv1 and RIPv2 Packets

RIP version 1 (RIPv1) and RIP version 2 (RIPv2) can run simultaneously. This might make sense when you are migrating a RIPv1 network to a RIPv2 network. This also allows interoperation with a device that supports RIPv1 but not RIPv2.

By default, when RIP is enabled on an interface, Junos OS receives both RIPv1 and RIPv2 packets and sends only RIPv2 packets. You can configure this behavior by including the send and receive statements in the RIP configuration.
