Devices running ScreenOS 6.3 support static routing and dynamic routing with the Routing
Information Protocol next-generation (RIPng), an interior gateway protocol (IGP) that
uses a distance-vector algorithm to determine the best route to a destination, using the
hop count as the metric. RIPng supports route redistribution to import known routes,
from a router running a different protocol, into the current RIPng routing instance. For
example, you can import static routes from a virtual router (VR) into a RIPng instance.
RIPng is intended only for use in IPv6 networks. You can create RIPng on a per VR basis
on a security device. If you have multiple VRs within a system, you can enable multiple
instances of RIPng. OSPFv3 like RIPng is a new dynamic routing protocol that works on
IPv6 interfaces.
To configure RIPng on a security device:
Create the RIPng routing instance in a VR.
1.
Enable the RIPng instance.
2.
Enable RIPng on interfaces that connect to other RIPng routers.
3.
Redistribute routes learned from different routing protocols (such as OSPF, BGP, or
4.
statically configured routes) into the RIPng instance.
This topic describes the following RIPng options:
RIPng Parameters on page 336
Redistribution Rules on page 337
You can configure some global RIPng parameters at the VR level. When you configure a
RIPng parameter at the VR level, the parameter setting affects operations on all
RIPng-enabled interfaces. Table 84 on page 336 describes the RIPng global parameters
that you can configure.
Description
Specifies whether the default route (::/0) is advertised.
Specifies the default metric value for routes imported into
RIPng from other protocols, such as OSPF and BGP.
Specifies, in seconds, when a route is removed from the time
the route becomes invalid
Specifies, in seconds, when a route becomes invalid from
the time a neighbor stops advertising the route.
