11.3 Routing Q8. How can I verify that the dynamic routes got exchanged using the RIP feature?
Ans: Go to Status → Route Table. Here the list of active route entries is displayed. The
routes in “Grey” color are static route entries. The entries in “Yellow” color are the routes
that were received from the RIP enabled neighboring routers.
Q9. I am not able to see the dynamic routes (“Yellow” colored entries) in the route
table even after enable RIP feature in this router and the neighboring router. What
could be the problem?
Ans: To troubleshoot this issue, follow the below steps:
Make sure R IP is enabled on the proper interface to which the RIP enabled
neighbor router is connected.
Ensure that the RIP versi on matches at the Dlink Router and the neighbor router.
i.e The router’s RIP send version on the interface must be the same as the
neighbor’s receive version, and the router’s receive version on the interface must
be the same as the neighbor’s send version.
Q10. I have multiple ISP Con nections, and am using the router in Load balancing /
Auto Backup mode. However the router does not automatically detect ISP
Connectivity failures, requiring me to manually disconnect the failed ISP link.
What could be the problem?
Ans: If the ISP Connection is Static or Dynamic WAN Mode, then ensure that Ethernet
Link Detection feature is enabled. Go to Interfaces → WAN and click on “Detect Link
Status” to enable this feat ure. It will periodically send ARP or ICMP requests to the ISP
and automatically detect connectivity failures.
If the ISP Connection is PPPoE WAN Mode, then ensure that LCP Echo Feature is
enabled via Interfaces → WAN, PPPoE Mode. Also ensure that the Interval and
Maximum Failures is configured optimally. If the interval is 30 secs and Max Failures is
6, then it will take 30 * 3 secs, i.e 3 minutes to detect link failure.
