Configuring RIPng

To configure RIP next generation (RIPng), you include the following statements:

protocols {ripng {graceful-restart {disable;restart-time seconds;}holddown seconds;import [ policy-names ];metric-in metric;receive <none>;route-timeout seconds;send <none>;update-interval seconds;traceoptions {file filename <files number> <size size> <world-readable | no-world-readable>;flag flag <flag-modifier> <disable>;}group group-name {export [ policy-names ];metric-out metric;preference number;route-timeout seconds;update-interval seconds;neighbor neighbor-name {import [ policy-names ];metric-in metric;receive <none>;route-timeout seconds;send <none>;update-interval seconds;}}}}

For a list of hierarchy levels at which you can include these statements, see the statement summary sections for these statements.

By default, RIPng is disabled.

Note: By default, RIPng routes are not redistributed. You must configure export policy needs to redistribute RIPng routes.

To have a router exchange routes with other routers, you must configure RIPng groups and neighbors. RIPng routes received from routers not configured as RIPng neighbors are ignored. Likewise, RIPng routes are advertised only to routers configured as RIPng neighbors.
