RIPng configuration
NOTE:
The term "router" in this chapter refers to both routers and Layer 3 firewalls.
The RIPng configuration is available only at the CLI.
Introduction to RIPng
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
