Example for Configuring Basic RIPng Functions

This section describes how to configure basic RIPng functions.

Networking Requirements

In Figure 1, it is required that RIPng be enabled on all interfaces of Device A, Device B, Device C, and Device D and that the routers communicate through RIPng.

Figure 1 Configuring basic RIPng functions

Interface 1 through 3 in this example are GE 0/1/0, GE 0/1/8 and GE 0/1/16, respectively.

Configuration Notes

When configuring basic RIPng functions, note the following rules:

RIPng takes effect only after IPv6 is enabled on interfaces.
If a RIPng process is bound to a VPN instance, the interfaces that run this RIPng process are also bound to the VPN instance.

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

Configure IPv6 addresses for interfaces to ensure that neighboring nodes are reachable at the network layer.
Enable RIPng and configure basic RIPng functions on each router.

Data Preparation

To complete the configuration, you need IPv6 addresses of interfaces.

Procedure

Configure IPv6 addresses for interfaces. For configuration details, see Configuration Files in this section.

[*DeviceA-GigabitEthernet0/1/16] commit
[~DeviceA-GigabitEthernet0/1/16] quit

Verify the configuration.

# View RIPng neighbors of Device A.

[~DeviceA] display ripng 1 neighbor
Neighbor : FE80::A0A:201:1 GigabitEthernet0/1/0
Protocol : RIPNG

The command output shows that Device A has established the neighbor relationship with other devices on the network.

# View RIPng routing information of Device B.

[~DeviceB] display ripng 1 route
Route Flags: A - Aging, S - Suppressed, G - Garbage-collect
-----------------------------------------------------------
Peer FE80::F54C:0:9FDB:1  on GigabitEthernet0/1/0
Dest 2001:DB8:1::1/96,
    via FE80::F54C:0:9FDB:1, cost  1, tag 0, A, 3 Sec
Peer FE80::D472:0:3C23:1  on GigabitEthernet0/1/8
Dest 2001:DB8:2::2/96,
    via FE80::D472:0:3C23:1, cost  1, tag 0, A, 4 Sec
Peer FE80::D472:0:3C23:1  on GigabitEthernet0/1/16
Dest 2001:DB8:3::2/96,
    via FE80::D472:0:3C23:1, cost  1, tag 0, A, 4 Sec

The command output shows that Device B has learned routing information on the network.
