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.

Applicable Environment

To meet the requirements of complex networking, accurately control the sending and receiving of RIPng routing information.

Pre-configuration Tasks

Before configuring a router to control RIPng routing information, 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 RIPng to Import External Routes: RIPng can import routing information from other RIPng processes or routing protocols to enrich the RIPng routing table.

Configuring RIPng to Filter the Received Routes: You can configure a router to selectively receive routes.

Configuring RIPng to Filter the Routes to be Sent: You can configure RIPng to filter the routes to be sent.

Configuring RIPng to Advertise the Default Routes: There are two methods of advertising RIPng default routes. You can configure a router to advertise RIPng default routes as required. Alternatively, you can specify the cost of the default routes to be advertised.

Configuring RIPng Route Summarization: Configuring RIPng route summarization reduces the routing table size and prevents route flapping.

Verifying the Configuration of RIPng Routing Information Control: After controlling RIPng routing information, verify all activated routes in the RIPng database.
