Tuning And Optimizing The Ripng Network; Configuring Ripng Timers; Configuring Split Horizon And Poison Reverse - HP 3600 v2 series Configuration Manual

Tuning and optimizing the RIPng network

This section describes how to tune and optimize the performance of the RIPng network, as well as
applications under special network environments. Before tuning and optimizing the RIPng network,
complete the following tasks:
Configure a network layer address for each interface
•
• Configure the basic RIPng functions

Configuring RIPng timers

Adjust RIPng timers to optimize the performance of the RIPng network.
Follow these steps to configure RIPng timers:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter RIPng view
Configure RIPng timers
NOTE:
When adjusting RIPng timers, consider the network performance, and perform unified configurations on
routers running RIPng to avoid unnecessary network traffic increase or route oscillation.

Configuring split horizon and poison reverse

NOTE:
If both split horizon and poison reverse are configured, only the poison reverse function takes effect.
Configure split horizon
The split horizon function disables a route learned from an interface from being advertised through the
same interface to prevent routing loops between neighbors.
Follow these steps to configure split horizon:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter interface view
Enable the split horizon function
Use the command...
system-view
ripng [ process-id ]
timers { garbage-collect
garbage-collect-value | suppress
suppress-value | timeout
timeout-value | update
update-value } *
Use the command...
system-view
interface interface-type
interface-number
ripng split-horizon
