RIB Debug Commands on Cisco IOS XR Software

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

debug rib

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

debug rib {ipv4 | ipv6 | afi-all} {clear | counts | data | extcomms | firsthop | gc | locking | lookup | rcc | redist | routing [access-list-name] | rump | sync | tables | timers}

no debug rib {ipv4 | ipv6 | afi-all} {clear | counts | data | extcomms | firsthop | gc | locking | lookup | rcc | redist | routing [access-list-name] | rump | sync | tables | timers}

Syntax Description

ipv4

Specifies IP Version 4 (IPv4) RIB debug events.

ipv6

Specifies IP Version 6 (IPv6) RIB debug events.

afi-all

Specifies RIB debug events for IPv4 and IPv6.

clear

Displays RIB clear events.

counts

Displays RIB data structure reference counts events.

data

Displays RIB client data events.

extcomms

Displays extended communities events.

firsthop

Displays RIB first-hop registrations and notifications.

gc

Displays RIB garbage collection events.

locking

Displays RIB locking events.

lookup

Displays RIB route lookup events.

rcc

Displays RIB route consistency checker table events.

redist

Displays redistribution-related events.

routing

Displays RIB routing table events.

access-list-name

Name of an access list.

rump

Displays RUMP events.

sync

Displays RIB table sync events.

tables

Displays table-related events.

timers

Displays RIB timer events.


Defaults

Debugging is disabled.

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 rib 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.
