This task explains how to display information to verify the configuration and operation of IPv6 RIP. The commands, which are specific to RIP in this context are show ipv6 rip and debug ipv6 rip, but as with static routes show ipv6 route is also useful in this task. To display information about current IPv6 RIP processes use the following command:

                       Router> show ipv6 rip [name] [database | next-hops]

Note that this command may be used as an unprivileged user.

Debugging messages to IPv6 RIP routing transactions may be displayed with the following command syntax:

                    Router# debug ipv6 rip [interface-type interface-number]

The debugging information may be constrained to just those transactions taking place on a specific
interface. The command may only be executed by privileged users.

For the syntax of the show ipv6 route command please refer to section 6.2.1.

Examples

a) In the following example, output information about all current IPv6 RIP processes is displayed using the show ipv6 rip user EXEC command:
