Won't send RIP advertisements

[visionthing]

I've set up a couple of routers with IOS 12.3(6) and am going over a dedicated line. The offices at both ends have different networks and need to access each other. On each Serial interface (router A & B) I'm using 10.10.10.x and on the FA int (routers A & B), I'm using an INSIDE address. I've enabled RIP with the ROUTER RIP and NETWORK commands. But when I check with "sh ip route", I only see the directly connected network with the "C" and don't see any "R" indicating that RIP is advertising. I've added static route statements and it's working, but I'm questioning why RIP isn't working??????

Thanks

youll have to post some config for more detailed help.
but if you have static routes created the will override the rip routes as they have a lower administrative distance...

go ahead and post the relavent config. ie the interfaces and the router rip section..

Router rip
version 2 (same version on both routers)
network 10.10.10.xx
network 192.168.1.XX
Make sure you do not have a psssive-interface statement assigned to the interface that is directly connected to remote site.
The default time for RIP is 30 seconds.

youll want to add no auto-summary.

I'm not at the site right now, so I can't get to the config files. Since I have the static routes in there, everything is working. I'm just wondering WHY it wasn't advertising the RIP routes BEFORE I added the static routes.

JOAMON- I have exactly what you've suggested and I don't have the "passive-interface" statement in there.

plshlpme- I had added this statement already.

I remember adding the "router rip" and "network" statements in both global and interface modes and I also remember when doing a "sh int" command that "rip ver2" and the networks to advertise were there. It's just that they weren't being advertised.

Thanks

Need to see config of each router to go any further....

I'm not sure what kinds of "dedicated line" you're using but in case it's a non-broadcast multiple-access network like frame-relay then you'll need the "neighbor" command in the "router rip" configuration.

lambent- no, it's not a frame link, just a simple point to point 756k fractional T-1 line. So, I don't need the "neighbor" command. I might be going to this site this week and if I do, I'll pull the config's and let you have a look.

Thanks much
