Configuring RIPng
The term "router" in this document refers to both routers and LB modules.
RIP next generation (RIPng) can be configured only at the CLI.
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.

Configuring RIPng basic functions
This section presents the information to configure the basic RIPng features.
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.
