RIPng Configuration

Overview of RIPng

RIPng protocol can implement the interworking of small and medium-sized networks.

Configuration Precautions for RIPng

Configuring Basic RIPng Functions

To use RIPng features, configure basic RIPng functions, including creating RIPng processes and enabling RIPng on interfaces.

Controlling the Sending and Receiving of RIPng Packets

By controlling the sending and receiving of RIPng packets, you can optimize the RIPng performance.

Preventing Routing Loops

RIPng is a distance vector routing protocol. Because RIPng devices advertise their routing tables to their neighbors, routing loops may occur.

Adjusting RIPng Route Selection

You can adjust RIPng route selection on a complicated network.

Controlling RIPng Routing Information

In most cases, multiple protocols run on the same network. Therefore, you need to control routing information of every protocol to meet different networking requirements.

Configuring RIPng Timers

There are four RIPng timers: Update, Age, Suppress, and Garbage-collect timers. You can adjust the RIPng convergence speed by changing the values of the RIPng timers.

Configuring IPsec Authentication for RIPng

By default, IP security (IPsec) authentication is not configured. Configuring authentication is recommended to ensure system security.

Maintaining RIPng

RIPng maintenance is implemented through debugging. Debugging, however, affects the system performance.
