Configuring RIPng
Basic Functions
In this section, you are presented with the information to configure the basic
RIPng features.
You need to 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, accomplish the following tasks first:
■ Enable IPv6 packet forwarding.
■ Configure an IP address for each interface, and make sure all nodes are
reachable.
Configuration Procedure Follow these steps to configure the basic RIPng functions:
n
If RIPng is not enabled on an interface, the interface will not send and receive any
RIPng route.
Configuring RIPng
Route Control
This section describes how to configure the attributes of RIPng routes, such as
configuration of RIPng route preference and cost, and how to control incoming
and outgoing routes and how to redistribute routes from other protocols.
This section covers the following topics:
■ “Configuring an Additional Route Metric” on page 293
■ “Configuring RIPng Route Summarization” on page 293
■ “Advertising a Default Route” on page 293
■ “Configuring a RIPng Route Filtering Policy” on page 294
■ “Configuring the RIPng Priority” on page 294
■ “Configuring RIPng Route Redistribution” on page 294
Prerequisites Before the configuration, accomplish the following tasks first:
■ Configure an IPv6 address for each interface.
■ Configure RIPng basic functions
