USER’S GUIDE350 CyberSWITCHVERIFYING IP RIP I NPUT PROCESSING ON A LAN INTERFACETo verify that IP RIP Input Processing (routes learning) is properly operational on a LAN interface,IP RIP processing must be successfully initialized. Also, a local IP router must be connected to thelocal LAN port on the system and capable of propagating routes information via RIP.Below is an example of a configuration used to verify IP RIP input processing on a LAN interface.It uses IP addresses specified to the example. Substitute the IP addresses of your network when youperform the verification steps. It also uses thenetstat command. Thenetstat commanddisplays the IP routing table of the system. Substitute the equivalent command on your IP router.To verify the operation of IP RIP input processing on a LAN interface:1. Determine if the CyberSWITCH has learned the route to 131.1.0.0 from Router 1. On theadministration console type:ip route If the following route entry is displayed among other route entries, the IP RIP input processingis operational. The ‘P’ (Protocol) field should have ‘R’, which indicates that the entry waslearned via RIP.Destination Subnet-Mask Next Hop Mtr T/P TTL IF AGE131.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 128.1.1.16 1 R/R 999 n nnn2.
