No. I'm curious though - why would it make life much easier? OSPF is
pretty basic to configure unless you need to do something extremely
elaborate. Take a look at our web site, we have a good technote on
configuring networks for OSPF. RIPv2 has just too many disadvantages owed
to its heritage. RIPv2 is a hacked and perverted version of what was an
already incomplete, unplanned, and unexpandable protocol, may it R.I.P.
