Configuring RIPng
The term "router" in this document refers to both routers and routing-capable firewalls and firewall
modules.
RIPng can be configured only at the CLI.
Overview
RIP next generation (RIPng) is an extension of RIP-2 for IPv4. Most RIP concepts are applicable in RIPng.
RIPng for IPv6 has the following basic differences from RIP:
• UDP port number—RIPng uses UDP port 521 for sending and receiving routing information.
• Multicast address—RIPng uses FF02::9 as the link-local-router multicast address.
• Destination Prefix—128-bit destination address prefix.
• Next hop—128-bit IPv6 address.
• Source address—RIPng uses FE80::/10 as the link-local source address.
