From the CLI, enter the show rip neighbor command.

What it Means

The output shows a list of the RIP neighbors that are configured on the Services Router. Verify the following information:

• Each configured interface is present. Interfaces are listed in alphabetical order.
• Each configured interface is up. The state of the interface is listed in the Destination State column. A state of Up indicates that the link is passing RIP traffic. A state of Dn indicates that the link is not passing RIP traffic. In a point-to-point link, this state generally means that either the end point is not configured for RIP or the link is unavailable.
