You must enable RIPng first before you configure other tasks, but it is not necessary for RIPng-related
interface configurations, such as assigning an IPv6 address.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure RIPng basic functions, complete the following tasks:
• Enable IPv6 packet forwarding.
• Configure an IP address for each interface, and make sure all nodes are reachable to one another.
Configuration procedure
To configure the basic RIPng functions:

Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Create a RIPng process and
enter RIPng view.
ripng [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]
Not created by default.
3. Return to system view.

4. Enter interface view.
interface interface-type

N/A
5. Enable RIPng on the interface.
ripng process-id enable Disabled by default.
NOTE:
If RIPng is not enabled on an interface, the interface does not send or receive any RIPng route.
Configuring RIPng route control
Before you configure RIPng, complete the following tasks:
• Configure an IPv6 address on each interface, and make sure all nodes are reachable to one
another.
• Configure RIPng basic functions.
• Define an IPv6 ACL before using it for route filtering. For related information, see Access Control
Configuration Guide.
• Define an IPv6 address prefix list before using it for route filtering. For related information, see
"Configuring routing policies."
Configuring an additional routing metric
An additional routing metric can be added to the metric of an inbound or outbound RIPng route.
The outbound additional metric is added to the metric of a sent route. The route's metric in the routing
table is not changed.
The inbound additional metric is added to the metric of a received route before the route is added into
the routing table, so the route's metric is changed.
