| 7.2.5 |  | Verifying RIP configuration |

| There are several commands that can be used to verify that RIP is properly configured. Two of the most common are the show ip route command and the show ip protocols command. The show ip protocols command shows which routing protocols are carrying IP traffic on the router. This output can be used to verify most if not all of the RIP configuration. Some of the most common configuration items to verify are: RIP routing is configured The correct interfaces are sending and receiving RIP updates The router is advertising the correct networks The show ip route command can be used to verify that routes received by RIP neighbors are installed in the routing table. Examine the output of the command and look for RIP routes signified by "R". Remember that the network will take some time to converge so the routes may not appear immediately. Additional commands to check RIP configuration are as follows: show interface interface show ip interface interface show running-config
