3.7.2 Configuring RIPng Timers

RIPng has three timers: Update timer, Age timer and Garbage-collect timer. If the three RIPng

timers are configured improperly, routes become unstable.

By default, the Update timer is 30s; the Age timer is 180s; the Garbage-collect timer is 120s.

Issue 01 (2012-03-15)

Route flapping occurs if the values of the four RIPng timers are set improperly. The relationship between

the values is as follows: update < age, update < garbage-collect. For example, if the update time is longer

than the aging time, and a RIPng route changes within the update time, the switch cannot inform its

neighbors of the change on time.
