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.

Procedure

Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
Run interface interface-type interface-number
The interface view is displayed.
Run ripng default-route { only | originate } [ cost cost | tag tag ] ^*
RIPng is configured to advertise default routes.

Specify either of the following parameters as required:
- only: advertises only IPv6 default routes (::/0) and suppress the advertisement of other routes.
- originate: advertises IPv6 default routes (::/0) without affecting the advertisement of other routes.
Run commit
The configuration is submitted.

Follow-up Procedure

RIPng default routes are advertised in Update packets through the specified interface, regardless of whether these routes exist in the IPv6 routing table.
