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
