Configuring RIPng

Enabling RIPng

Before configuring the Brocade device to run RIPng, you must do the following:
•
•
For more information about performing these configuration task, refer to
Basic IPv6
By default, RIPng is disabled. To enable RIPng, you must enable it globally on the Brocade device
and also on individual router interfaces.
NOTE
You are required to configure a router ID when running only IPv6 routing protocols.
NOTE
Enabling RIPng globally on the Brocade device does not enable it on individual router interfaces.
To enable RIPng globally, enter the following command.
BigIron RX(config-rip-router)#ipv6 router rip
BigIron RX(config-ripng-router)#
After you enter this command, the Brocade device enters the RIPng configuration level, where you
can access several commands that allow you to configure RIPng.
Syntax: [no] ipv6 router rip
To disable RIPng globally, use the no form of this command.
After enabling RIPng globally, you must enable it on individual router interfaces. You can enable it
on physical as well as virtual routing interfaces. For example, to enable RIPng on Ethernet interface
3/1, enter the following commands.
BigIron RX(config)# interface ethernet 3/1
BigIron RX(config-if-e100-3/1)# ipv6 rip enable
Syntax: [no] ipv6 rip enable
To disable RIPng on an individual router interface, use the no form of this command.
