2. When a RIPng neighbor receives the request packet, it sends back a response packet that contains
the local routing table. RIPng can also periodically advertise route updates in response packets or
advertise a triggered update caused by a route change.
The RIPng router processes RTEs in the request. If only one RTE exists with the IPv6 prefix and prefix
length of 0 and a metric value of 16, the RIPng router responds with the entire routing table
information in response messages. If multiple RTEs exist in the request message, the RIPng router
examines each RTE, updates its metric, and sends the requested routing information to the
requesting router in the response packet.
3. After receiving the response, the requesting RIPng router checks the validity of the response (for
example, whether the source IPv6 address is the link-local address and whether the port number is
correct) before adding routes to its routing table. A response packet that fails the check is
discarded.

RIPng configuration task list

Task

Configuring RIPng basic functions

Configuring RIPng route control
Tuning and optimizing RIPng
networks
Configuring RIPng basic functions
You must enable RIPng first before you configure other tasks. However, you do not need to enable RIPng
first for RIPng-related interface configurations, such as assigning an IPv6 address.

Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure RIPng basic functions, complete the following tasks:
Enable IPv6 packet forwarding.
•
Configure an IP address for each interface, and make sure all nodes are reachable to one another.
•
Configuring an additional routing metric
Configuring RIPng route summarization
Advertising a default route
Configuring a RIPng route filtering policy
Configuring a priority for RIPng
Configuring RIPng route redistribution
Configuring RIPng timers
Configuring split horizon and poison reverse
Configuring zero field check on RIPng packets
Configuring the maximum number of ECMP routes
