Viewing general RIP information

Syntax:


show ip rip

To display general RIP information, enter show ip rip at any context level. The resulting display will appear similar to the following:

The display is a summary of global RIP information, information about interfaces with RIP enabled, and information about RIP peers. The following fields are displayed:

`RIP protocol`	Status of the RIP protocol on the router. RIP must be enabled here and on the VLAN interface for RIP to be active.The default is `disabled`.
`Auto-summary`	Status of auto-summary for all interfaces running RIP. If auto-summary is enabled, subnets will be summarized to a class network when advertising outside of the given network.
`Default metric`	Sets the default metric for imported routes. This is the metric that will be advertised with the imported route to other RIP peers. A RIP metric is a measurement used to determine the "best" path to network: 1 is the best, 15 is the worst, 16 is unreachable.
`Route changes`	The number of times RIP has modified the routing switch’s routing table.
`Queries`	The number of RIP queries that have been received by the routing switch.
`RIP interface information`	RIP information on the VLAN interfaces on which RIP is enabled: IP address IP address of the VLAN interface running RIP. Status Status of RIP on the VLAN interface. Send mode Format of the RIP updates: RIP 1, RIP 2, or RIP 2 version 1 compatible. Recv mode The switch can process RIP 1, RIP 2, or RIP 2 version 1 compatible update messages. Metric Path "cost", a measurement used to determine the "best" RIP route path: 1 is the best, 15 is the worst, 16 is unreachable. Auth RIP messages can be required to include an authentication key if enabled on the interface.
`RIP peer information`	RIP peers are neighboring routers from which the routing switch has received RIP updates: IP address IP address of the RIP neighbor. Bad routes Number of route entries which were not processed for any reason. Last update timeticks Number of seconds that have passed since we received an update from this neighbor.
