RIP Debug Commands on Cisco IOS XR Software

---

This chapter describes the commands used to debug the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) on Cisco IOS XR software.

debug rip

To display debugging information for the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), use the debug rip command in EXEC mode. To disable debugging output, use the no form of this command.

debug rip {auth | database | events | global | im | oom | policy | receive | rib | send | show} [interface type instance] [vrf {all | vrf-name}]

no debug rip {auth | database | events | global | im | oom | policy | receive | rib | send | show} [interface type instance] [vrf {all | vrf-name}]

Syntax Description

auth	Displays RIP authentication information.
database	Displays RIP database events.
events	Displays RIP protocol events.
global	Displays RIP process level information.
im	Displays RIP VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) and interface events.
oom	Displays RIP out of memory information.
policy	Displays RIP policy run information.
receive	Displays RIP packet receive information
rib	Displays the interaction of RIP with the Routing Information Base (RIB).
send	Displays RIP packet send information.
show	Displays the show command processing information.
interface	(Optional) Specifies an interface to filter.
type	Interface type. For more information, use the question mark (?) online help function.
instance	Either a physical interface instance or a virtual interface instance as follows: •Physical interface instance. Naming notation is rack/slot/module/port and a slash between values is required as part of the notation. –rack: Chassis number of the rack. –slot: Physical slot number of the modular services card or line card. –module: Module number. A physical layer interface module (PLIM) is always 0. –port: Physical port number of the interface. •Virtual interface instance. Number range varies depending on interface type. For more information about the syntax for the router, use the question mark (?) online help function.
vrf	(Optional) Specifies a VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instance to filter.
vrf-name	Name of the VRF instance to be filtered.
all	Selects all VRF instances.

Defaults

Debugging is disabled.

Command History

Release	Modification
Release 3.3.0	This command was introduced on the Cisco CRS-1 and Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.
Release 3.4.0	The auth keyword was removed.
Release 3.5.0	No modification.
Release 3.6.0	No modification.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

Debugging output is assigned high priority in the CPU process and, therefore, can affect system performance. For more information about the impact on system performance when using debug commands, refer to Using Debug Commands on Cisco IOS XR Software.

Caution The debug rip command generates a substantial amount of output. Use the command only when traffic on the IP network is low so that other activity on the system is not adversely affected.
