Second, ensure the interface and chain protocol are UP (use show interface command)
Then initiate the RIP protocol (use router rip command) and configure the segment (use
network command) and set RIP protocol parameter on corresponding interfaces, such as the
option between RIP-I and RIP-II
After that, one feature of RIP protocol should be noticed ---the Layer 3 switch running RIP
protocol sending route updating messages to all neighboring Layer 3 switches every 30 seconds.
A Layer 3 switch is considered inaccessible if no route updating messages from the switch is
received within 180 seconds, then the route to the switch will remains in the route table for 120
seconds before it is deleted. Therefore, if to delete a RIP route, this route item is assured to be
deleted from route table after 300 seconds.
When exchanging routing messages with CE using RIP protocol on the PE router, we
should first create corresponding VPN routing/transmitting examples to associate with
corresponding interfaces. Then enter the RIP address family mode configuring corresponding
parameters.
If the RIP routing problem remains unresolved, please use debug rip command to record the
debug message in three minutes, and send them to our technical service center.
1.4.5.1 Commands for Monitor And Debug
1.4.5.1.1 debug rip redistribute message send
Command: debug rip redistribute message send
no debug rip redistribute message send
Function:
To enable the debugging of sending messages for routing redistribution messages
from OSPF or other external process for RIP. The no form of this command will disable the
debugging messages.
Parameter:
None.
Default:
Close the debug by default.
Command Mode:
Admin Mode.
Usage Guide:
None.
Example:
Switch#debug rip redistribute message send
Switch#no
debug rip redistribute message send
1.4.5.1.2 debug rip redistribute route receive
Command: debug rip redistribute route receive
no debug rip redistribute route receive
Function:
To enable debugging of received messages from NSM for RIP. The no form of this
command will disable debugging of received messages from NSM for RIP.
