Monitoring RIP
We recommend that you only use the debug commands to troubleshoot specific problems or during
troubleshooting sessions with the Cisco TAC.
Debugging output is assigned high priority in the CPU process and can render the ASA unusable. It is
best to use debug commands during periods of lower network traffic and fewer users. Debugging during
these periods decreases the likelihood that increased debug command processing overhead will affect
performance. For examples and descriptions of the command output, see the command reference.
To monitor or debug various RIP routing statistics, enter one of the following commands:
Configuration Example for RIP
The following example shows how to enable and configure RIP with various optional processes:
hostname(config)# router rip 2
hostname(config-router)# default-information originate
hostname(config-router)# version [1]
hostname(config-router)# network 225.25.25.225
hostname(config-router)# passive-interface [default]
hostname(config-router)# redistribute connected [metric bandwidth delay reliability
loading mtu] [route-map map_name]
