Protocols And Standards; Ripng Configuration Task List; Configuring Ripng Basic Functions - HPE 5800 Series Configuration Manual

The receiving RIPng router processes RTEs in the request. If only one RTE exists with the IPv6
prefix and prefix length both being 0 and with 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, update its metric, and send the requested routing
information to the requesting router in the response packet.
Response packet
The response packet containing the local routing table information is generated in the following way:
•
A response to a request
•
An update periodically
•
A trigged update caused by route change
After receiving a response, a router checks the validity of the response before adding the route to its
routing table, such as whether the source IPv6 address is the link-local address and whether the port
number is correct. The response packet that failed the check is discarded.

RIPng configuration task list

Task

Configuring RIPng basic functions

Configuring RIPng route
control
Tuning and optimizing the
RIPng network
Applying IPsec policies for RIPng
Configuring RIPng basic functions
This section presents the information to configure the basic RIPng features.
You must enable RIPng first before you configure other tasks, but it is not necessary for
RIPng-related interface configurations, such as assigning an IPv6 address.
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
