Adjusting RIPng Route Selection

You can adjust RIPng route selection on a complicated network.

Usage Scenario

To flexibly apply RIPng on a network and meet various requirements of users, you can change RIPng route selection by setting different parameters.

Pre-configuration Tasks

Before adjusting RIPng route selection, complete the following tasks:

Configure IPv6 addresses for interfaces to ensure that neighboring nodes are reachable at the network layer.
Configuring Basic RIPng Functions

Configuration Procedure

Perform one or more of the following configurations as required.

Configuring the Additional Metric on an Interface: The additional metric is the metric (hop count) to be added to the original metric of a RIPng route. You can set additional metrics for received RIPng routes and those to be sent.

Setting the Maximum Number of Equal-Cost Routes: You can set the maximum number of equal-cost RIPng routes to adjust the number of routes that load-balance traffic.

Verifying the Configuration of RIPng Route Selection: After adjusting RIPng route selection, verify the running status of RIPng, information about interfaces, and RIPng routing information.
