Cabletron Systems CSX1000, CSX1200 manual Verifying IP RIP Input Processing on a LAN Interface

USER’S GUIDE

VERIFYING IP RIP INPUT PROCESSING ON A LAN INTERFACE

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

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

LAN 131.1.0.0

Router 1 131.1.1.16

128.1.1.16

CSX1200

128.1.1.1

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

1.Determine if the CyberSWITCH has learned the route to 131.1.0.0 from Router 1. On the administration console type:

ip route <return>

If the following route entry is displayed among other route entries, the IP RIP input processing is operational. The ‘P’ (Protocol) field should have ‘R’, which indicates that the entry was

learned via RIP.
Destination	Subnet-Mask	Next Hop	Mtr T/P TTL IF AGE
131.1.0.0	255.255.0.0	128.1.1.16	1	R/R 999	n nnn

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

VERIFYING IP RIP OUTPUT PROCESSING ON A WAN INTERFACE

To verify that IP RIP Output Processing (routes advertisement) is properly operational on a WAN interface, the IP RIP processing must be successfully initialized.

Below is an example of a configuration used to verify IP RIP output processing on a WAN interface. It uses IP addresses specific to the example. Substitute the IP addresses of your network when you
