Problem:

The Router does not display the correct route entry, i.e., the Router does not seem to be learning route information from the CyberSWITCH system via RIP.

Action:

1.Verify that the IP RIP Send Control is set to the proper RIP version that the Router can understand. Refer to page 398 for instructions regarding check RIP versions.

2.Enter the ip rip interface administrative console command. Look for the Broadcast Address value. This is the IP address of the router that the RIP messages are sent to.

If the address is not the correct address for the Router, correct the transmit broadcast address for the interface using CFGEDIT. Refer to page 398 for instructions regarding checking the address.

3.Enter the ip rip stats administrative console command. Look for the IfStatSentResponses counter for the interface, which shows the number of RIP update messages sent on the interface.

If the counter is 0, enter the ip rip send administrative console command to force the RIP update message to be sent immediately.
