Monitoring RIP
To view RIP information, you can issue one of the three following commands:
- show ip protocol: This command will give you all of the statistics for RIP such as the update notification time, time to live for the update list, networks for which RIP is configured, administrative distances, and various configured gateway information.
- show ip route: This command will display the routing table and how each piece of information was obtained. For example, if a route was learned through RIP, you will see a capital “R” and then the information that was obtained.
- debug ip rip: You can use this command to display the information as it is received by RIP.
