Problem:
The local IP Host does not display the correct route entry, for example, the IP Host does not seem
to be learning route information from the CyberSWITCH via RIP.

Action:
1.

Using the

ipnetif

Manage Mode command, verify that the IP RIP Send Control is set to a RIP

version that the IP Host can understand.

If the command shows

Do Not Send

, the IP RIP output processing is disabled on the interface.

Correct the RIP Send Control configuration using CFGEDIT.

If the command shows an improper version of RIP, correct the RIP Send Control to the proper
RIP version that the IP Host can understand.

2.

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.

3.

Repeat step 2.

If the counter is still 0, there is an unexpected condition present within the CyberSWITCH
software. Contact Customer Support

.

4.

If the RIP Send Control is set to “RIP Version 1” or “RIP Version 1 Compatibility,” use Manage
Mode to verify that the transmit broadcast address on the interface is set to a proper address
that the IP Host can receive (through issuing the

ipnetif

Manage Mode command).

If the transmit broadcast address is not set properly, use CFGEDIT to correct it.

5.

Check the IP Host and ensure that it is set up to learn route information via RIP.

Problem:
The CyberSWITCH does not display the correct route entry, for example, the system does not seem
to be learning route information via RIP.

Action:
1.

Verify that the IP RIP Receive Control is set to the proper RIP version that the Router is using.
Refer to

page 398

for instructions regarding check RIP versions.

2.

Enter the

ip rip stats

administrative console command. Look for the counter

IfStatRcvResponses

for the interface, which show the number of RIP update messages

received on the interface.

If the total number of these counters is 0, check the Router to verify that it is configured to send
IP RIP update messages.
