Chapter 20: Checking the Status of Routing Tables
The following table describes the fields of the
RIP Interface
table's upper frame. The
Selection Details frame displays information about the item currently selected in the
upper frame. For details on using the Table toolbar, see
Appendix A: “Working with
Tables” on page 443 .
Obtaining RIP Peer Information
Obtain RIP Peer information if you want details about the last time the SSR was updated
with a peer's routing information, which version of RIP a peer is running, how many
packets the SSR discarded from a peer, and how many of a peer's route entries the SSR
ignores. You may find such information useful when resolving problems between the SSR
and its RIP peers.
To obtain RIP peer information, do one of the following:
• If you are not in the Front Panel view, switch to it by clicking the CoreWatch main
window.
• Select the Monitor menu, choose Routing State , choose RIP State , and then choose
RIP Peer Table .
Table 64. RIP Interface table fields
Field Description
Address Identifies the network IP address of the interface.
Each interface has a unique index that the SSR uses to identify
interfaces without an IP address. The SSR does so by
appending the index number to an IP address of 0.0.0.
Suppose an unnumbered interface's index is 55, then the SSR
would use 0.0.0.55 as the interface's IP address.
Rx Bad Packets Indicates how many of the interface's response packets the SSR
received and then discarded because those packets were
empty, included an invalid command, or had some other error.
Rx Bad Routes Indicates how many of the interface's routes, included in valid
RIP packets, the SSR ignored. The SSR ignores a route entry if
it includes an unknown address family, an invalid hop
number, or some other error.
Sent Updates Indicates how often the SSR was updated with the interface's
routing information. The figure in this field includes only
updates sent because of route changes. This figure does not
include updates sent containing new information.
Status Indicates whether the interface is functioning (1) or not
functioning (2).
