SYSTEM VERIFICATION

Verifying IP RIP

VERIFYING IP RIP OUTPUT PROCESSING ON A LAN INTERFACE

To verify that IP RIP Output Processing (routes advertisement) is properly operational on a LAN interface, the IP RIP processing must be successfully initialized. Also, a local IP host (router) must be connected to the local LAN port on the system and capable of learning routes information via RIP.

Below is an example of a configuration used to verify IP RIP output processing on a LAN interface. It uses IP addresses specific to the example. Substitute the IP addresses of your network when you perform the verification steps. It also uses the netstat administration console command. The netstat command displays the IP routing table of the system. Substitute the equivalent command on your IP host.

100.0.0.1

LAN 192.1.1.0

Host A

100.0.0.2

To verify the operation of IP RIP output processing on a LAN interface:

1.Make sure that a static route to the network 192.1.1.0 is configured on SITE1. On SITE1’s administration console type:

ip route <return>

If the route to 192.1.1.0 is displayed continue with the next step.

If the route is NOT displayed, use the Manage Mode command iproute add to add the static route.

2.Determine if a local IP Host A has learned the route to 192.1.1.0 from System A. On IP Host A type:

netstat -r <return>

If the route to 192.1.10 is displayed, the IP RIP output processing is operational.

If the route is NOT displayed, refer to IP RIP Output Processing on a LAN Interface in the Problem Diagnosis chapter.
