Configuring RIPng basic functions
This section presents the information to configure the basic RIPng features.
You must enable RIPng first before configuring other tasks, but it is not necessary for RIPng related
interface configurations, such as assigning an IPv6 address.
Configuration prerequisites
Before the configuration, complete the following tasks first:
• Enable IPv6 packet forwarding.
• Configure an IP address for each interface, and make sure all nodes can reach each other.
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.
quit N/A
4. Enter interface view.
interface interface-type
interface-number
N/A
5. Enable RIPng on the interface. ripng process-id enable
Disabled by default.
If RIPng is not enabled on an
interface, the interface will not
send or receive any RIPng route.
Configuring RIPng route control
Before configuring RIPng, complete the following tasks:
• Configure an IPv6 address for interfaces, and make sure all nodes can reach each other.
• Configure RIPng basic functions
• Define an IPv6 ACL before using it for route filtering. For more information, see Access Control
Configuration Guide.
• Define an IPv6 address prefix list before using it for route filtering. For more 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 RIP 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.
