Symptom
Offset-list will not be visible after configuration under 'router rip' configuration.
Conditions
1) When the interface is an L2 interface, L3 functionalities will not be supported. In switches, the interfaces will be L2 by default. In that state, if the the offset-list configuration is issued under 'router rip', the configuration will appear to have been successful, but will be missing in the 'show running-config'.
2) When the interface is under a VRF, and when the offset-list configuration is issued under 'router rip', the configuration will appear to have been successful, but will be missing in the 'show running-config'
Workaround
1) In case of L2 interface, configure 'no switchport' under L2 interface, before configuring the offset-list configuration.
2) In case of different VRF, we can either bring the interface to default routing table, or issue the offset-list under the corresponding address-family VRF, under 'router rip'.
Further Problem Description
The problem here is that the user can be confused why the configuration is missing as the configuration was not rejected with appropriate message during configuration.
